Newbie Question about Live Rock
This will probably be a stupid question, but when adding "Live Rock" to my tank, what do I need to do? Do I need to add supplements to the water? Thanks |

No, just put it in, assuming it is fully cured.

It is fully cured (Or at least thats what I was told) but it all looks
rather plain now, and I've been reading about supplements for live rock on site like liveaquaria.com Any ideas? Or maybe just not cured? Thanks MH "Marc Levenson" wrote in message ...

If it smells clean and looks clean, put it in. In a matter of weeks you'll see
all kinds of life teaming in your rockwork.

Had the tank set up a little over a year, adding Live rock piece by piece.
All the rock looks/smells clean, but have seen nothing in the way of "critters" in the live rock. Matt "Marc Levenson" wrote in message ... If it smells clean and looks clean, put it in.

Tonight after the lights are out for a while, get a flash light and study the
rock for a while. You'll see nothing at first, but then you'll begin to notice movement. Worms, bugs, feather dusters and more....

As Marc said, and if you don't see anything take heart. You can always
reseed your rock using garf grunge(tm). www.garf.org. (much cheaper, and much lighter, than new liverock). I know a fellow that made all his rock with aragocrete and used GG to bring it to life. A year later his setup looks like a Salter's paradise. If you do see things this is a helpful site to identify some of the little guys: http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/index.html Also, Indo Pacific Sea Farms offers worms and seeding stock too. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
