artificial live rock


Recommended Posts

need advise from experience reefer here

I intend to start a FOWLR with a 2ft tank

Using sand but putting in artificial live rock

My question is there any pros & cons in long term period?

Btw am using a quick start filter system bought from jireh marine

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Think not much difference if u keep FOWLR using either live rock or articfical rock.

Artifical rock : Nice color and shape, green n hairy algae or wild plants will not grow. Will need more time to mature it to have bacterias. Last, you will need at least need a certain of live rocks in your filteration to keep the ph stable.

Live rock : Good natural source of rock. Alot of pest will be in it unless u use dried rocks or live rock from reefers. Once po4 high, algae and wild plants will poping out fast.

Hope this give you some idea

Tank Theme: Mixed Reef with clams

3 feet tank with IOS

Eheim 1262

K3 wavemaker x1

Lightings: T5 actinic blue x4 , T5 white x4

Skimmer: BMQQ

Artica 1/5

Dosing: NA

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.
