mixed live with dead

[patrickfox4@msn]

this might be a dumb question but here goes is it ok to use live rock with other rocks and corals that are dead

I did that and the dead rocks and coral are starting to get purplish colors and I think they are becoming live! Also its not a stupid question, because you didn't know> The stupid thing to do is to not ask and make a mistake.

just be careful that the "other" rocks are safe for use in reefs. things like lava rock and cichlid holey rock leech metals and other elements into the water that are bad for your reef. if you want to go with non live rock to save some money, get some rock that came from the ocean, like hawiian base rock or something.

I bought the Hawaiin rock from the ---- guy and am very happy with it. He sent a bunch of different shapes and sizes-great price too
