    'Dead' LR in a FW rinse?

    Ok, after doing a little reading (i think from the same place your info came from)...I understand that the bleach is to 'kill' off anything on the live rock. But...I'm wondering if I need to do that...being that I'm pretty sure everything is already dead...since it's been sitting for 4...

    'Dead' LR in a FW rinse?

    Wow! Thanks for that info! I would have never thought of bleaching it! Would that still be ok to do...if I plan on keeping soft corals in the future?

    'Dead' LR in a FW rinse?

    Hello, Been a while since I've run a SW tank. It's been about 4 years or so since my last tank. I saved the LR from the tank, and it's been in a closed tub...dried out and dead...since then. My question is, can I rinse it in FW...to get any debris off and old salt off...before I place it in a SW...

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts on it. I have most of my equipment from my 55 gallon still. (Including LR...that isn't 'live' anymore). I don't think I want to get into corals again. As much as I love them, I wanted to have a fish only tank...with maybe a clown and clean-up crew. But if it...

    Question on LR

    so, even if it is rinsed off and left in a tub with saltwater and a few powerheads, there will still be nutrients inside? some of this rock is very smooth with very few holes. and the holes that it does have, you can see right through it. but then again, some of them have many holes and are like...

    Question on LR

    I have about 50 lbs of LR that has been in my empty tank for about 5 months or so. So i guess i should call it 'dead' rock instead of live rock! Now, it is out of my tank, which i am selling. It is in a rubbermaid tub with no water or anything else. My question is, can i still use this rock for...

I'm going to go nano...mostly because since I moved into an apartment, I don't have the space for anything bigger. I want to go with a 24 gallon....i know...
