Live Rock and Live Sand Hot Top Rated
|
|
By Nathan Cope
Intro:
For me, the terms live sand and live rock have always sounded like a great way to add swarms of new and interesting unidentified animals to a tank. Unfortunately, if this is your intention, you will probably be disappointed with both types of live media because in reality, relatively few animals are included (although the number of animals on board does tend to vary from shipment to shipment). What they do contain though, is nitrifying and de-nitrifying bacteria.
Live rock and sand are usually dived for on coral reefs. The sand I have has been shipped from the Great Barrier Reef. It is also possible to obtain dead sand and rock from just about any source and over ti me, make them live. This will save money but may take a while and doesn't give any of the small creatures I mentioned above. The other drawback is that some types of rock and sand can be detrimental to you aquarium or inhabitants. -

Live Rock As A Biological Filter: Hit or Myth Hot
|
|
by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph. D.
Intro:
Biological filtration, or the conversion of waste and excess nutrients into some innocuous form by means of organism metabolism, is one of those concepts that everybody seems to understand. If there is a problem with the term, it is that everybody understands it differently. In its broadest sense, it seems to be a term used to mean the conversion of biologically produced noxious wastes into something benign. In a stricter sense, the term is frequently used to mean, specifically, the conversion of ammonia and nitrate ions into nitrogen gas. Whatever its usage, it is a given that aquaria, in general, and reef aquaria, in particular, must have some sort of efficient biological filtration. -

The Best Live Rock: From Fiji Hot

Bob Fenner
Intro:
Of all the advances in the marine aquarium interest, which do you consider number one in importance? Improved lighting, new and enhanced filtration methods? Captive breeding and rearing of livestock? Treatment, capture, shipping protocols?
For my part, having "lived" the hobby and industry thirty some years, it’s actually none of these. Though great strides have been made in keeping saltwater life, much of the credit should go to the popularization of Live Rock (LR). -

Live Rock- answering some FAQs Hot

By James W. Fatherree, M. Sc.
Intro:
Live rock is a key component of a reef aquarium and is used as the base that everything else is placed upon. It is also being used by more and more folks to build structures and for decoration in non-reef aquariums too. It can also easily be the most expensive component as well, so it’s worth your time to learn as much about it as possible and how to take care of it. That being the case, I’ve provided some info and answers to a few commonly-asked questions concerning live rock and what to do with it once you get some. -
