Live rock is the basis of every reef tank out there. Whether you buy it live or you develop your own over time, rock will make up the bulk of a tank's biological filtration and be the visual centerpiece of your tank. But how much do we really know about live rock? Stick around to learn a bit more about these building blocks of our hobby!

I baught some dry Caribsea life rock: am I able to break them in half if their too big, wash them thoroughly with RO water and place it into my 1.5yo tank?

@BulkReefSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Just keep in mind that the finish of the broken areas won't look the same as the rest of the rock. But if that doesn't bug you visually, not a problem.

I was sold live rock today he said it’s a rock with stuff on it

I have a life rock with a lot of pest. I’m getting tired of constantly getting rid of them. Is it possible to take the live rock out, let it die out and putting it back in ? If so, how long does that whole process take.

@BulkReefSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Hello! You can certainly dry out the live rock and let any pests die out for a couple of weeks. We just recommend giving the rock a good clean before adding it back in as it can raise your phosphate and nitrate levels.

So can I add live rock to a established aquarium?

@augukern9708 2 жыл бұрын

As what it can be seen in the vid, you can, the additional bacteria on the live rck will just die if the bacteria doesn't find enough surface area. I heard you need to dose as bacteria won't reproduce. Depending the type of rock, you can get undesired pests. So the rock may just create a bloom at the beginning but that's what I only say.

You technically don’t need to cycle the aquarium if you go with live rock right ?

@BulkReefSupply Жыл бұрын

Yes and no. In most cases, you'll be adding enough nitrifying bacteria to convert the ammonia of a few fish right away. That said, most reefers won't add fish right away and will instead monitor for ammonia in the early going as there can be some die off on live rock, depending on how it was transported.
