yeah mine comes in dark maroon and turns to a dark red and purple more red though

no it was off the charts in the beginning that's why i didn't put it in my tank i let it soak for 2 months and check it every 2 weeks i would change the water every couple of days to. after i got a reading of 8 ph i put some pieces in. the reason your ph might be high is the oysters i used coral...

i molded the pieces in sand. and cofano32 how much is shipping for buying live rock online do i have to get overnight because it is expensive. i also bought 1.5 pounds of live rock along with some spaghetti algae and i got some pulsating exina. they look well and got some hitchhikers with the...

im looking for a saltwater coral growers around me that i could buy some cheaper corals off of for my newer tank.i live in st.charles il but i can travel to aura and bativa maybe a little further but i cant really travel to far.

i have a return line from a sump and that seems to push it around with the power head so all the water is moving. i have one heater in my show tank and the other one in the sump along with the protein skimmer and filter. im thinking about buying some more live rock but at my age and the amount...

thanks i used regular quickcrette it had gravel in it but i used a stariner to sift all the gravel out and i used a coral substrate that was pretty large chunks of broken coral and shells

i posted a thread about 2 months ago about making my own diy live rock. well fast forward to now and it has turned out nice and i have some of it in my tank. it took me a couple of days to make and about a week before i started soaking the rocks in water. i used a substrate and quickrette to...

ive seen this before maybe once or twice online. but i would think it would be hard to do with the little amount of water meaning fast changes in water quality but best of luck to you and linking it to your 55gal is probably better then leaving it just alone.

oh and i found out garf used quickcrette before but stopped because it was flaking so ill try it but if it doesn't work then not much of a loss only have 1 snail and 4 crabs http://www.reefs.org/library/talklog/t_miller_052498.html

it looks ok to me but ill look into it. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f20/diy-rock-104715.html he used just general use cement. i don't see to much of a difference except it might be a higher ph since the type garf used had a little lower ph i guess ill just have to soak it longer.

yeah i got some water softener pellets to and the crushed coral should be more porous then crushed oyster.

so to save my self a bunch of money and to add creativity to the tank ive decided to make some live rock. i have a few questions to start with should i leave the rocks in from the cement i got or sift them out plus instead of using crushed oyster shells can i just use crushed coral substrate as...
