live rock dissolving???

[Mark Henry]

Okay, weird question time...

Does live rock dissolve?

No, really. I bought my rock in early January and have noticed over the
past 60+ days that the holes in the rock are slowly getting larger.
Cracks are getting wider and deeper, and small fissures now see much
bigger than they were when the rock was "new". I'm also starting to see
new holes in the rock that seem to expose large caverns within the
rockwork itself.

Is this "normal" or am I going crazy(er)?

tia,

May be a little of both.
Nevertheless, rocks do erode depending of different factors such as
composition, eroding bacteria, soluble components, etc...
They can also grow if you have calcareous bacteria or corals to build on it.
Check if you had a sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rock. Seds and Igs
will corrode easily. Metamorphic of some types will last longer. Then
again, if your PH runs low, the rocks are subseptible to erosion.

Jaime, your an idiot.

You post so much nonsense.

But since you have here posted the above, wich I have
never seen any reference to, but yet have suspected
myself, I will see if you realy know of such reference.

So at the risk of waisting my breath, do you really know
of references to calcifying bacteria, or are you just
shooting in the wind as you have always done?

Yes rocks do often disolve, some faster than others. This
usualy doesn't happen in our reef tanks, like it does in
the ocean, as our reef tanks usualy don't support the
creatures that eat the rock up. Sea earchins are easy to
keep, but most people don't put them in the reef tank,
because they like to eat the coraline algae. But they can
eat a lot of rock, as can burrowing sponges, burrowing
clams. Is it aquacultured rock? If so, they could have
used a real soft brittle rock. But no, it's not highly
unusual for someone to get live rock, that disolves, and
falls appart. So no your not going crazy :-)

Yup. I've got some live rocks that have been in my tank for four years.
No question that the rocks themselves are eroding away. (Meanwhile, of course,
lots of life forms are growing on top of them.)

I'm new to reefkeeping?

Mark,
The rock might be composed from a lot of different things. I dave a
piece of rock that had a large shell half-embedded. Over last two years
the shell stayd the same, but more of it is now exposed. There are
couple of cravices that formed over time, but the bulf of the rock
still stays unchaged (except coralline growth).
Aragonite sand people use in their aquarium does disove over timem, and
so does CC, usually in tanks wit low Calcium and Ph.

Please note that I'm no marine biologist, so I might be wrong :)

Yuriy

Too bad you had to findout this way. That topic is thought in Puerto Rico's
Earth Science class in 10th grade. Also, a brief preview of it is thought
in 7th grade in the biology class. You see, us Puerto Ricans LIVE in the
caribbean, we have to know everything we can about the coast if we are to
stay in the island. You should have known that...

Now I'm not normally one to chime in on an issue like this. As far as
marine knowledge goes, I'm just slightly above your average Joe. The
reason for this is I've had a marine tank for about a year...that's all
the knowledge I have. As far as chemistry goes, I know even less. I
come here for information and to hopefully get knowledge.

Every single post(with very few exceptions) from our local neighborhood
troll is strewn with grammar/spelling/English atrocities that gleam with
ignorance. I was under the impression that English was a required class
in every major...even Marine Biology. It's not simple typos, it's
glaring misuse, nay abuse, of the English language. "Maybe, just maybe
you are not worst the effort!". Be it right or wrong, the only measure
of actual intelligence I have on forums such as this is how a point is
made. If I have to learn remedial English to read his posts, well I'm
not holding much stock in the rest of his post. Just my $.02.

When responding to posts we often don't take the time to

A good point. Please understand that I'm not referring to you and have
no beef with you. Though I don't quite understand why if you know
something is typed wrong you wouldn't fix it ;). That's neither here nor
there.

My point is that it is a communication forum, and if you don't type
sentences that can be read easily, then you have failed in
communication. Misspelling and other typos are not my beef. It's
phrases that appear to be random groupings of words.

It's just my method judging a more trustworthy source of
information...nothing more should be implied.

That's a fine attitude to take with the local mechanic or store owner, but a
marine biologist (which Jaime claims to be) does not make glaring errors of
language use. In fact, few people who make it through the language courses
required for any undergraduate degree make errors such as we've seen. That fact
(and it is one) leads one to the conclusion that Jaime is no more a marine
biologist than he is an aerospace engineer.

Your only problem is that I know another language, you have to stick to only
one and be part of a phase out of unilingual trolls.
Well, I agree with you, my English is not the best yet is much, much better
than your Spanish, the second language, BY FAR, of the United States, count
how many states have Spanish names...

There you go ASSuming again JR, My second language happens to be German and
although it is not grammatically correct, I lived on the German economy and
worked in a factory job for 5 years. Wife being German we still spoke it at
home before she passed away. So don't ASSume anything. I had 2 yrs of
Spanish in HS and 1 in college. And I am a aquarist and not a marine
anything. Just some thoughts you troll.
