Hello everyone,
I want to hear your advice on my cycling process.
Setup:
120 Gallons Display Tank
Dry Rock | Marco Rocks
Dry Sand | Aragonite
I started the cycling process on Monday 28th December 2020, for which I'm using Brightwell Quickcycle and Brightwell Microbacter 7 to introduce ammonia...
I have reef Reef Saver Aquarium Dry Live Rock - MarcoRocks that I ordered and I was going to make my aquascape for my new tank. Do I need to cure this type of rock before putting it in the aquarium? I plan on cementing together my aquascape then placing it in a brute trash can in order for it to...
This is a Wrasse Den for a bare bottom. It's a great idea, but it's dyed fake purple.
Call me crazy, but in a 60G cube with white rock the purple dye looks way too fake.
Is there a way to remove it, other than just sandpapering it to the point it'd end up removing the rock-like texture?
I know...
Not sure if it matters what my setup is to decide what kind of rock to use but there is a link below if you need those answers to help answer my rock question.

This is going to be crazy and I probably will get a lot of people tell me im crazy, but I feel like it would be good to share this process, just in case someone goes thru the same thing, and I will try to update it as much as I can.
So I been very picky about my aquascape, Tank has been set up...
Ok...here we go. I recently moved and bought a 135 gallon Crystal Dynamic aquarium. The tank is 36 by 36 by 24, and it has a stand a canopy as well. I have had reef tanks since I was about 15 and about 15 years later finally decided buy my first new tank. It definitely came with a price tag, but...
Hey it's me again,
After posting my last aquascape here for my first tank attempt and taking in all of your wonderful advice and my own thoughts, I decided I really hated the rocks I had in my tank, so I switched them out and made this. Any opinions and advice appreciated, just some forewords...
I am starting a new 25G peninsula reef tank from Waterbox.
I think I'm done with my rockwork, but at times I feel like it looks bad. The two main pieces can be separated if I want to put some space in between. I plan on adding a lot of coral.
I attached photos of all 3 sides: left side...
So I've been out of the hobby for a few years, about 6, because I started working out of the country and haven't been home more than about a month every year. That might end within a year or so though well see, I'm a little tired of it. In this time I've had a home built and I'm about to finish...
Howdy Reefers Wanted to share part two of my little aquascape and coral placement design series where I talk about how to add depth to your rockscape! Hopefully someone can find this info helpful in some way when making their scape even though my videos are pretty goofy.
It’s a super easy...

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy used Pukani (or dry Pukani that was imported before the ban)? I'd rather clean it off, cure it and dry it myself than go with reefsaver or something similar. I'd at least like a bit of Pukani to work with. Maybe end up with a mixed tank of...
Hello Reefers
New to this whole thing and don’t want to get myself into any big problems down the road. What is growing out of my dry rock that has been cycling in my tank for 2 weeks now?
Thanks in advance
WOP
Silly little video I made about thinking of aquascaping from a design perspective. Expanding on it more and different coral placement techniques in my upcoming content but just wanted to share :) I know my stuff is pretty goofy but hopefully it helps in some way!
Does anyone here have experience with the mined rock from addictive reef keeping? The price is amazing for sure, seems like I can’t really find anything negative about the guy, but can’t find much at all really good, bad or otherwise. Any guidance or experience here would be appreciated...
Hey guys, so I'm about to work on my second tank and could use some advice on dry rock. Personally, I prefer dry rock method. It's a little slower, but it avoids any unwanted pests, and since this is going to be a frag grow out tank, I'd like to avoid any possibility of pests or problems...
So I had bought some aquarium safe silicone the past week and i feel like it will work pretty well if i put a lot in between the cracks. I am sceptical though because if i out a heavier rock somewhere in the middle and possibly off to the side of another, would it not become top heavy?
Does...
I am starting a new 125 G tank. I am ready to cure and cycle rock but I dont want any pests. I have decided against any type of dry or wet rock. What is the best rock for a long term pest free tank? Reef saver???
I have a 40 gallon breeder and looking to upgrade to a 100 gallon tank. My 40 has about 50 lb of live rock that is 3 years old. I would really like to start over with the new tank from all dry rock how much better is 3 year old rock vs newly cycled rock and why? I can try to use some pieces of...
Hey y’all my name is Luke and I recently set up a cvue 26 all-in-one with a hydra 26 hd. I am currently waiting out the cycle stage and it seems to be taking longer then previous ranks. I have just started getting what look like little brown clusters of I think algae on the rock and sand no...
Essentially for my new tank I'm thinking of using entirely dry rock apart form a tiny piece to seed Coraline algae. my question:
can I cure and cycle rock inside a container like this one.
If I do it in this one will a sponge filter be adequate for filtration / water flow?
Is a skimmer really...
Here is a sample of my reefscape. Still tinkering on a few things.. I’ll hide the acrylic rods once I put in tank. Check out the floating shelf that I am going to crazy-glue to my overflow box. Has anyone done this before?
FYI I’m using Gorilla glue gel, eMarco 400 and CaribSea life rock...
