This rock is pure white and was pretty clean when I got it I just washed it off to be safe the man I bought it from said it had been sitting in his basement for years....why is it a gamble?

I recently bought some used rock from CL. This rock has not been used in years so I washed it off and put it in an extra tank I have with just RO water. I have a filter going on the tank and am just wondering how long I should let it soak and if I should actually add salt to water or just keep...

Anybody?

Is anyone using this skimmer or have used it in the past? There is one on CL for $220 new in box and was wondering if it is a good skimmer new it is around $300 I think. Thanks...

Ok will do thanks...I only feed every other day now and only a small amount because I only have two fish right now. It seems every time I get rid of one type of algae outbreak I get another one. My tank is only 5 months old, will it eventually level out ir will I always have to deal with outbreaks?

No it's just on sand bed right now

Nobody?

Any ideas???

I believe what I have is cyano and was wondering what the best way to get rid of it is. Any help is much appreciated thanks....

Ok thanks for the info...they don't really bother me just curious and making sure I don't need to remove them. I was worried if I let them go they would take over tank i'll just see how they do. Thanks again.....

Better pic maybe

I've tried but they are small and the more I zoom the blurrier the pic. They do have a shape like a pineapple so makes sense. I bet there are 30 of them. Will they take over and what causes them to die off. My tank is 4 months old.

I googled those worms and that isn't what these are they aren't coiled looking these come straight off the rocks and look cylindrical with like fuzzy hairs and a fan head

I have these all over rocks and powerheads don't know what they are. They are small white cylinder looking things that are fuzzy and have almost what looks like a feather duster head in them pic is hard to see.

Install unions in your supply and return piping and that way you can take it apart if you every have to without cutting it.

Ok thanks. I have a 20 gal long mixing tank I guess I could just use it right now for a qt.

Ok so there is a person on CL that is selling live rock and coral frags. I want to buy some live rock to add to my current rock but don't know if adding the new rock will cause a spike even if I transport the new rock in buckets of water. The seller lives within 20 min of my house so they...

How many pieces of rock did you get in 33 lbs and what is average weight per rock? I am wanting to order 50 lbs but was just wondering how many pieces I can expect.

I'm not sure on watching levels from what I heard you should not have any issues with a spike unless you are using it to replace an already established sand bed. The best way I know of to clean it would be put it in a bucket or tub of some sort....add RO water and stir it around the best you can...

I just removed my aragonite for that exact reason and went with PFS it was super clean from the start, I did rinse it really well but the water was barely dirty. After I added it to the tank my water was a little cloudy for about four hours but after that crystal clear. The grain size is large...

I switched out my aragonite for PFS today and i'm really happy how it looks the grain size is much larger and settled out really well and sand was super clean not a bit cloudy.

Well I have aragonite sand and I always have a sand storm you must have a larger grain than I do i'm just sick of the water always having sand blowing around in it it sucks because it is a complete redo of tank but I don't have fish or corals right now so if i'm gonna do it now is my chance.

Do I still need to rinse it really well

I have aragonite sand now its the finer grade oolite I think ( not sure on spelling)
