nanoreefer17 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Setting up a new tank and am looking for some tips on rock. Will be a 29g reef tank with 20g Sump. Looking for about 30 pounds rock, and would like some nice colors maybe some purple? I also don't wan't to pay a fortune, and would like to get already cured rock if possible. Might try and do a cave or U shaped scape. Looking for some tips, or if anyone has some available let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think the results of the Tampa Bay Saltwater cured rock packages are pretty amazing. The full packages create a very natural and beautiful tank right off the bat. It's not cheap as far as rock goes, but it's so much more than rock that you're buying. http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/testimonials/ There's lots more info about their products on other forums as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoringDave Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I bought some rock off a member here for a very reasonable price. About $1 per pound with some included corals,snails and hermits. Very nice shapes and sizes. But it also included a bit of an algae problem and some aptaisia. I had no problem with this, I just dealt with it in a tote for a month. Then when I was done just transferred it to my display tank. So far so good. A bit of hair algae tried to make a run for it. But I combated that with two turbo snails and a small Scopes Tang. They took care of it within a few days. So it depends on how much work you want to invest in rock? For me it's more sporting and gave me something to do.
