Looking for base rock/rubble/large substrate. Have frags to trade.


Recommended Posts

Trying to start collecting some porous base rock,rubble, and large subsrate to utilize in the filtration for my temperate/coldwater marine tank. Doesn't have to be pretty because I'll probably end up breaking it into smaller pieces. Would prefer dry/dead rock.

 

Anyone who has some rock or rubble and is interested in some frags, or just wants to clear some room in their garage let me know.

None of the non-native rock will be seen at all. It will all be in the area that is below the visible tank bottom.

 

Its sole purpose will be to buffer the ph and provide a more porous biological surface area for bacteria. Marineland uses dolomite if I remeber correctly from their website. I thought about just using the small ceramic tubes that some people put in their filters, but live rock rubble is cheaper. I may end up using nylon bags full of crushed oyster shell.

 

Don't worry, it will be 100% native rock in the viewable tank areas ;)
