Aquarium Live Rock
Aquarium Live Rock
If the Water in your aquarium is not being filtered is the live rock still good?
I have a saltwater tank and after the last fish died, I just turned the tank off. There is still water in there and the live rock is still in there. I want to start my tank up again. So do I need to throw the live rock away and buy some more or what?
It's been sitting for several months. The water is half gone.
I would drain the tank completely, Re fill it with new SALTWATER and place a couple of powerheads in the tank.
If everything in the live rock is dead, It will begin the curing process again by itself.
Do partial water changes once per week until there is no more odour from the rock.
The Good bacteria will cycle (cure) the rock from all of the dead stuff that is in it.
Once the rock is cured, you can do a partial water change and start adding a cleaner crew.(check ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels)
It may be helpfull to add a few snails and hermits while the rock is curing.
You don't have to spend another ton of money on new live rock.
I have cured hunderds of pounds of rock this way but I usually do it in 5gal buckets with powerheads.
I sell it locally.
