Hey all,
Okay so I have decided to take the plunge into salt water, But I have already hit an obstacle.I live in a small town in northern New Mexico and the only salt dealer that we have is petco the person in the fish department is really knowledgeable and her fish look great. The problem that i have is petco only carries a Bio Active sand that prepackaged. Everything that i have read says that this stuff isn't that great for a live sand bed and if it has been sitting in storage to long it can actually cause more problems. Now on to Petco's live rock. It just looks like rock it has a nice pink color but there is no visible life on it. It doesn't even have any kind of algae on it. so is it just another base rock that has been labeled as live rock or is it that they keep them to clean?
Thanks
Ben
