someone on facebook is selling 5 dollar live rock , whats the process of making sure you dont introduce any bad things into your tank?Local reefers
Throw the live rock in your tank and add corals and fish, or bleach the rock and wait until 2025 to add coral.someone on facebook is selling 5 dollar live rock , whats the process of making sure you dont introduce any bad things into your tank?
I suppose it’s almost impossible to do. Either you sanitize it by bleaching it and lose all life on it, or you keep it as is.someone on facebook is selling 5 dollar live rock , whats the process of making sure you dont introduce any bad things into your tank?

would a prolonged soak do anything, like a few weeks in ro or salt?I suppose it’s almost impossible to do. Either you sanitize it by bleaching it and lose all life on it, or you keep it as is.
You could always give it a good inspection and shake. But that’s probably not going to do much.
In ro you’ll kill life, in saltwater it might allow you to find some of the critters on the bottom and get rid of them.would a prolonged soak do anything, like a few weeks in ro or salt?
I have heard good things about curing or cooking it. You store it in a brute trash can or something in complete dark for a while. I have never done it, but may be worth a try.someone on facebook is selling 5 dollar live rock , whats the process of making sure you dont introduce any bad things into your tank?
It’s a major part of your tank biome. Why go through the process if you are not giving it the best chance of success? Get at least some live rock to populate the rest of the tank with healthy bacteria.If not brs where would i get the lowest rate on dry rocks?
my lfs is 25 dollars per pound for Bali live rock, would it be better to just order some live rock off online or in your method do you put dry rock in brute container?I suggest going to your LFS right now and throw 10% in a Brute with a heater and powerhead. This will be your seed. This will auto cycle your tank allowing you to add fish and coral on day one. Don't add any bottled bacteria. You want to keep it in there for about 6 weeks. I would then buy some Marco Rock, thick super glue, and Marco mortar and create an aquascape. If the Brute is big enough, throw the scape in the Brute with it and set yourself up for success! If you are attempting to nickle and dime this is not the hobby for you.

Find another one with $5/#. It doesn't have to be fancy. I intend to pull my seed out once I have Coralline on the scape I built. LFS throw it on the scale wet so it's going to weigh twice as much. I'm not sure how big if a tank you have. If it's a 10gal you only need 1# live rock. If it's 1000gal I'd get about 50# liverock. I was successful with 5% live rock. The rock in that pic weighed about 3#. The scape I built weighed over 50#. I added coral on day one and they are doing great.my lfs is 25 dollars per pound for Bali live rock, would it be better to just order some live rock off online or in your method do you put dry rock in brute container?
I found on fb marketplace $5/#. Do you not glue the "seed"? I currently have no tank but im looking into the 60 gallon aqueeon rectangleFind another one with $5/#. It doesn't have to be fancy.

How much marco would you recommend for a 60 gallon rectangle?No I did not glue the seed. I just threw it off to the side. The mortar takes 24hr to cure although it states that it can cure wet.
im probably gonna drill it out and use a sump.That 60g will work. I'd search stock list for 40g breeder. Don't put any tangs or angels in there as it's much too short. You could create a beautiful scape and have a lot of sweet coral in it. One thing that I wish that I did was build my scape about 4" shorter. The tank in the pic is the aqueon 40g breeder. A couple of clowns a nem and a few Wrasse would look awesome in that tank. You would need a lid. I am using the aquamax Bullet 3 skimmer. It would be perfect for you if you don't plan to drill it out and use a sump. I also use a canister filter as a source of mechanical filtration, a carbon reactor, and I have a 40w UV plumbed through it.
