vindy500 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Where do you get liverock from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 That's basically the only way. All rock coming into the country has to be..Ummm...Sterilised so it's just dead base rock. So either buy liverock from someone or buy a bunch of baserock and seed it with liverock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 you dont need live rock, just get base rock and it will house bacteria in a few months, As it matures things will grow on it depending how good you are at keeping good water quality.

Ira Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Better getting a good batch of liverock off Suphew, then you'll get hitchhikers too.(Good not bad ones, hopefully) and then bulk up the rest of your tank with bought baserock for less money.

suphew Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 No rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'd suggest not going so much by weight but grab any nicely shaped big pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
