    Biotek reef rock. Vs BRS reef saver rock.

    I’ve used BRS reefsaver rock for a long time. I’m setting up a 180 and looking to purchase some rock. I can’t find a single review about the biotek rock, yet it looks the same as the reef saver and about a $1 per pound cheaper. Any experience with the biotek rock. Thank you.

I am now wondering if my dry rock is now live and how would I know if it is. I am honestly just assuming its live since...

    Weird Reef Trends – Bleach

    One of the weirdest trends in reefing has to be the increased use of bleach in the hobby. Once upon a time it was only (mis-)used to clean dirty filters and such. These days the most common use for it seems to be soaking live rock in it — to kill it. Did we flashback to the 1960s when this...
