I was at the LFS the other day because I was thinking of buying live rock for my FO tank. Since I had never bought live rock before I was talking to the guy there and he told me that I should not buy Live rock! Now am I crazy or is he crazy? He said the reasoning being that if I have fish that may eat things off of the live rock that the rock will have "things" living on it that will release toxins into my tank and kill all my fish off. His sugestion is that no FO tank or tank with any aggresive fish should have live rock in it. Now I'm confused. Just about every set up I have seen or heard of with the exception of a few they have always had some kind of live rock in the tank. Before anyone says "he probably said that because you can't add alot of live rock to a tank with fish in it or the die off will kill the fish..." I told him that I had a seperate tank that I was going to cure the rock in and slowly add it to my main tank. But the question still remains. Can live rock be a bad thing in your tank?
