Adding Marco Rocks to an existing setup

[Jmonks]

I want to re-aquscape my tank and add some more rock. I was thinking of adding some pre-cured Marco Rocks. Does anybody see any problems with this?

I would be careful to only add a few at a time, but otherwise should be no problem.

I dont see any problem at all adding it all at once,since there is no die off,there is no cycle.There would be no issues I can see.

One of the local guys here said he had an algae bloom after he added some, anybody have any experience with this

anyone

Marco rocks still have dried die-off inside them. I would put them in a tub with old saltwater and run it for a couple of weeks....

You could also do a quick acid bath, then a soak in ro followed by keeping it in a container of saltwater if you want to make sure its clean.

Should be fine if done a little bit at a time though. If you want to add everything at once, maybe use the above techniques.

Thanks for the advice:smile:

I would add it slow, I had a friend re scape with cured macro and he lost some corals, they still will go through a cycle

Why not just use the dead marco rock. It will become alive in a couple weeks.
