rock

Hello Experienced Reefers, The BRS Channel has done a video on this, and I've seen a few threads touch on it, but there is a knowledge gap for me on how to deal with my Rock in the planning stage of setting up a reef tank. Now, for most walkthroughs and guides one of the first steps after...

so I stated my tank with BRS reef saver dry rock. I miss the diversity of having all kinds of cool critters. I was thinking about ordering 20 pounds of live sand and 30 pounds of live rock from Tampa bay salt water. I would use the 30 pounds of LIVE rock and remove 90% of the rock I have now. My...

Hey guys, I have been in the hobby for right at a year now and finally placed my first coral in my tank. I realized though that my rock work does not really have a lot of room for coral (see picture) and I really want to change that. How can/should I handle changing the rock in my tank? I want...

When it comes to a QT do you guys let the fish rest a day or so and then give them copper treatment for ich and such as a precaution. Or do you just let them sit in the QT for a set amount of time and hope they show no signs of disease that could be introduced into your tank? also; I welcome...

I’ve always used epoxy and glue to make my rocks sturdy but I want to put my newest art work to the bottom glass, should I use epoxy or superglue ?

I noticed That one specific rock has certain little worm. I tried To scrape them off and they feel rough like rocks. Then few weeks later, today, i see One of the worms opening up like if it’s a flower? Or a mouth? What is this? And is it dangerous ? Should i dump The rock ? Sorry for the...

So my last tank is officially taken down and out of commission. I essentially shut it down and never broke it down, because I was tired of dealing with ich. I’m now attempting to do this with as much thought and thoroughness as I can. To prevent any losses in the new tank I’m setting up. I’m...

@fishnreef was having a sale on frag racks so I thought I would give them a try. I sent them a PM with questions and they responded quickly so I went ahead and ordered the medium arc rock frag rack. When it arrived it looked awesome and they also sent me 2 single frag mounts extra!!! Couldn't be...

Hey! I was hoping for a little help with identifying some coral I have in my tank. I've received great responses already with help identifying other coral in the tank and I would love for that to continue. Thank you so much in advance for helping someone new to saltwater tanks! 1 2 3 4

3 days ago I transferred my goby from my 25 to my 10 gallon and somehow when I wake up this morning, I find him stuck in this piece of rock. He’s still alive and breathing but he hasn’t made any attempt to get out. Also, the right side of his face/lower part of his eye seems to be pushed in...

hello again! I’ve set up my tank finally and I have two clowns and a fire shrimp with a snail and a crab. So far I love my tank except for the fact that I kind of rushed in to it. I’m getting really bored of my current rock setup because I literally just placed a big dry rock in the middle and...

Hello all, new here. I looked around and couldn't find a definitive answer on the forums so far (maybe I overlooked something, forgive me in advance) but I was wondering if I were to take a few rocks from the local waterfront what I would need to do in order to clean them/disinfect them before...

I started my 30 gal tank about 1.5 years ago using pukani rock. I have grown to hate my aquascape and it really isn't working well for coral placement. I would love to buy some Caribsea dry live rock and make a custom aquascape and then cure the rock for a few weeks with some marinepure from the...

I've heard Marco rocks is good but I'm unable to get a response to email or phone s0 I'm now looking for other base rock and hoped R2R would have some suggestions and reasons for those suggestions. Thanks!

I've recently purchased 25lbs BRS Reef Saver dry rock to start an IM 25 Lagoon, and have conflicting information on whether I should cure the rock or not. It is advertised as the 'cleanest rock from BRS', and free of nuisance algae/pests. The BRS FAQ for Reef Saver has conflicting information...

I've scoured this forum and read up on Caribsea Life Rock and that seems disproportionately little information compared to other topics here on R2R. Is that because not many people here use it? And if so, why not? Is it just not appealing to a large portion of reefers? Or is it just good...

Reaching out to see other's experiences with pukani rock is. For me, I've had two tanks in the past. The first, was set up with cured live rock from an LFS. There was virtually no algae growth on the rock for the life of the tank (3 years). My second tank I used dry pukani that I cured in a...

Reef cleaners rock claims to be completely organic free so does this mean that when I introduce it to a tank there should not be an ammonia spike? I ask because I have a 10 gallon tank with rock that is leaching lots of phosphates into the water so I'm replacing it with this rock(I like it more...

Any ideas on who has the best prices on live and dried live rock in the area? Any that can beat the prices on eBay or other online retailers? I am just starting a 60 gallon tank and I'm looking for 80 - 100 lbs. I am thinking of doing mostly dried rock with some "starter" live rock and live...

I have 21 lbs of Real Reef Rock, this is the man made rock. It was left over from a new build. I've had this rock curing in a tank. It's never had anything other then saltwater and bacteria in a bottle added to the tank. 100% pest free, cured rock. Total 5 Rocks; weighting indidually...

Hey Guys, Very nice to meet you, and thanks in advance for the tips! I did a lot of reading & a lot of watching & a lot of question asking - and turns out there's a ton of contradicting information. I figure I would just lay out my specifics & seek guidance from the awesome community here! So...

Hi, im doing a new aquascape in my TMC Signature 450. The Aquarium is 450mmx450mmx450mm. I'm thinking of adding an exo terra rock background and just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them in aquariums. The backgrounds are made from polystyrene and are normally used in terrariums...

for the past week I've been dealing with what looks to me as dead algae. It's this white-grey almost ash like growth on my rock. About 3 weeks ago I eliminated a cyano problem with chemiclean and was very successful. I didn't dose the recommended amount and have done a 20% and two 10% water...

Hello all, We are moving slowly with our 60 Gallon cube tank, but I now have all the plumbing set up and have tested with fresh water. I've got lights and am about to start buying tank-ready salt water from our local shop (plug for Quantum Reef in North Virginia). I think my next step will...
