pics of live rock

[scarbone]

I am looking for pics of LR and the names to decide what kind I will go with. :help:

 

[scarbone]

hello?

 

[miamishrip]

LR from SWF gets good reviews - **Please do not post links to competitor's website** the rest of my live rock (about 75lbs) were from LFS bc they have a great selection / setup.

 

[scarbone]

but its hard for me to buy something that I can not pick out myself.

 

[scarbone]

and how much should I get for a 24 gal nano?

for a 24 you are better off going to the lfs and picking it out yourself. 20lbs of small pieces will work well for you.

 

[scarbone]

Is it ok to mix and mach?

 

[sign guy]

yup you could mix some base gulf rock with some toga for a very nice look

 

[scarbone]

Base gulf rock? I dont think Iv seen that yet.

 

[sign guy]

its man made rock that most lfs sell(cuz it's cheep and does not harm the reefs) it will not have alot of coriline algea on it but is cheep and very poarse

 

[scarbone]

thanks, I will look into that.

 

[sign guy]

did you look at swf.com's lr?

 

[scarbone]

also how can you tell if it's completely cured when you buy it from lfs, or can you?

most of the time you will have a little die off. nothing a little curing wont fix

 

[scarbone]

do I need a pump in order to cure or dose it need an other contaner?

 

[sign guy]

do you have fish in your tank now?
and how big is your tank?

 

[scarbone]

no fish but 5 crabs and 3 snails in a 24 gal nano cube.

 

[miamishrip]

you'll need another tub if you have any life in your tank - im using a large rubbermaid with a powerhead and a heater in there because you will need waterflow and heat - do a search for an acclimation guide
