After 2 1/2 years most of that coating is actually gone. I keep hoping one day I'll wake up to see something growing on them other than algae.Probably that purple epoxy coating

Have you tried some rock covered in coralline to spread. In a full year and only just starting to get some coralline growth. There is something off about the rock.After 2 1/2 years most of that coating is actually gone. I keep hoping one day I'll wake up to see something growing on them other than algae.
1. What type of rock do you have in your reef tank?
I use CaribSea LifeRock
2. What do you like or dislike about it?
I like that it comes pest-free and is painted to look like it has coraline algae on it. I also like that it has no impact on the world's reefs. It's also much cheaper than Real Reef Rock.
Yeah that Walt Smith live rock is EPIC!! I want to order some but the min. order qty./poundage is crazy high cost around $400 and up for rock.Currently all I use is dry rock for me to seed. I don't like the Florida version of live rock. But, in my previous tanks, I used all Walt Smith Fiji Live Rock. Now that was LIVE ROCK! Pics from 2005.
I didn't even know you can still get it. When Fiji shut down years ago, I assumed that included all the live rock as well. I just saw that they are now placing rock and harvesting the (cultured) rock. Glad to see it's still available...at a price.Yeah that Walt Smith live rock is EPIC!!

That's why I used LifeRock by CaribSea. Didn't have to wait, didn't have to hurt the environment, and no pests.I used dry rock but aged it for four months in a plastic garbage can with no light just heater and a power head.Added all kinds of bacteria and when I put it in my tank readings were stable no peakes.I would use this again but it takes a lot of patience.I would rather leave the live rock in the ocean.
Caribsea life rock, and after one of the easiest tank set up using this rock. I don’t think I’ll ever use anything else again.Let's rock and roll!
No really, let's talk about ROCK! More specifically the rock we have in our saltwater reef aquariums that make up our beautiful aquascapes!

You get a BIG THUMBS UP for sharing a photo of your ROCK!
A heater in a garbage bag? Was it in a tub of some sort?I used dry rock but aged it for four months in a plastic garbage can with no light just heater and a power head.Added all kinds of bacteria and when I put it in my tank readings were stable no peakes.I would use this again but it takes a lot of patience.I would rather leave the live rock in the ocean.
