Baserock to LR?

[pattycake]

I have 55 gal tank with 33 lbs of live rock and 19 lbs of base rock. Will the base rock turn into live rock?

 

[bigarn]

Yes it will. Over time the LR and LS will seed the baserock.

Hiya,
Yeap, I've got a 37 gallon with 25lbs of LR and 40lbs of BR that has been up for 3 months. It's starting to turn purple, pink and green. I've also seen pods and flat worms

on it.

pods and flat worms? Is that bad?

 

[shnabbles]

Ya is that bad? cause to me it sounds like BR is turning into LR... but dont take my word for it cause i know nothing yet

Hiya,
Pods are a good thing...they mean you're system is healthy.
Flatworms...can be bad if uncontrolled. They can multiply very quickly until they reach plague like proportions.
