It comes in three pieces, each weighing ten pounds. It seemed to me to be a deceptive ad - I expected to receive a total of 30, but this is not the case.
If you keep up with your water changes and feed your fish less frequently, you won't have any problems.
In the hobby world, there are usually two types of people. There are two types of live rock: wet live rock and live rock that has been exposed to the Live rock is rock that has been cured and contains a healthy bacteria colony. Dry live rock (such as this caribsea rock) contains no bacteria and is not seeded with bacteria for your aquarium. This type of aragonite rock is commonly referred to as "live rock." Although it's designed for saltwater tanks, it can also be used in freshwater.
No, because 1 pound of rock per gallon is required for filtration. Aesthetically, I'd say no, because 10 pounds was plenty in my 10gal.

I bought 20 poinds today and received them today. They were lighter than I expected, but I got a variety of sizes and shapes. The rock is lovely, and it arrived in excellent condition. I bought a masonry bit to drill them so I could insert fiberglass rods to keep them together in my reef tank, but they're so porous that I'm not sure I'll need to. There appear to be several holes into which my rod can be slid (lol). I won't know until I get a chance to work on the aquascape, but I'm pleased overall, though I wish I'd only gotten 10 pounds because it appears to be more than I require. One 10 pound bag is on the right, and another 10 pound bag is on the left. I threw the dust away and kept the small pieces that broke off after a few little pieces broke off.
With a hammer and a flathead screw driver, I was able to break three large pieces. With this rock, I was able to make a wonderful piece for my 3g Marineland contour. It's a great rock to work with, it's safe for your tank (SW or FW), and it's the one I prefer over everything else. br>If you have a smaller tank, you'll need to break it up because it looks like boulders when you first get it, but don't let that deter you. Make a mental picture of what you want to make, and with a little imagination, you'll be able to create a masterpiece!.
The dwarf shrimp thinks the same way! These rocks are for a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium that I purchased. This type of freshwater rock has always appealed to me. I'm sure they'll start to take on a very cool natural look over time. Preparation: br>br> Because of normal shipping conditions, they arrived covered in rock dust. I started by spraying them individually in the sink for a few minutes each. Then I completely submerged them all in a 5-gallon bucket of water. I conditioned a gallon bucket with Seachem Prime for 24 hours, then re-conditioned it. After spraying each of the rocks, cleaning the bucket, and soaking them for another 24 hours, they were completely ready to use. There hasn't been any loose debris in my gravel, and I didn't notice any murkiness when I first put them in the tank. br>br>Since getting them, I've added dwarf shrimp and nerite snails to the tank, and they seem to enjoy walking around on them and picking at the particles in the rocks. br>br>Plus, they're just plain freekin' cool!.
They appear to be excellent value for money, especially when compared to the $6 price tag. This is a fantastic price of $7 per pound, which is what we pay locally. The three white rocks in the photos are (1) top left, (2) middle left, and (3) bottom right. 3) in the upper right corner. They are not well protected when shipped, as others have noted, but only 3 or 4 small pieces (less than the size of a silver dollar) broke off in my case. When we move to our new 125 gallon aquarium, I'll purchase some more.
I work in an aquarium store and must say that this rock shipment has so far exceeded my expectations. For dry rock, it was an EXCELLENT deal. br>I soaked it for about 24 hours in a 5 gallon bucket of dechlorinated water to make sure it wasn't too dusty when I put it in my tank. It worked perfectly, and I've already noticed a reduction in my nitrate levels as a result of the increased space for beneficial bacteria. I was hesitant to add anything from the internet, but I would recommend it as a good way to add mass to your dry/live rock collection for a great price. Would definitely recommend for a sump/refugium as you don't get to choose your shape/size. 2" pieces that clearly disintegrated during shipment - I threw them in the back of the tank to give it some extra health! Thank you; I'd recommend it.
Excellent pourous rock that is light and airy. This is the second time I've used this rock in a reef. The rock has remained stable in the tank for three years, even with corals and coralline growth. It doesn't break down or dissolve. It has a sufficient number of irregular edges to form stable natural rock piles. This rock was secured to platforms using jd waterweld and silicone, and it has held firm without breaking. It's simple to drill it. I would strongly suggest it.
I have ten pounds of livesand and fifteen pounds of baserock. I began feeding the tank every other day about a week before dosing a bottle of Bio-Kleen every other day. spira. I've had my tank for three weeks now, and the ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels are exactly where they should be. Every three days, I've been changing out 2 1/2 gallon of water. Due to evaporation, I had to top off about a gallon of Ro/di every other day for 4 days. I was quite taken aback by how quickly the cycle was kicked off.
A large pet supply store will charge you twice as much! It is extremely popular among fish. The fry swim in and out of the crevices after they spawn. Definitely a good investment. Since watching the video, they've already started growing algae.
