Recycle Live Rocks ????

[Sociedad]

hello fellow bros / sistas ,

can anyone tell me what can we do with dried LR , i actually took out about 10 kgs of LR from my present tank because i found it too cramped .

Later on , i sunned these LR and keep them in a plastic bag , what can i do with these dry LR ? Can i add them back into my tank when i need to top up LR in future ?

Or can i use them in a freshwater tank as display ? Will it cause any adverse effects to fresh water fishes ? Esp arowanas ? Or can it be used as a catalyst to buffer PH in a freshwater tank like what coral chips does ?

I look forward to enlightenments and comments .

thank you

You can reuse them but it will take several months to become liverocks.

hello bro barracuda ,

tks for your advice , u mean i just have to put those dry LR back into m marine tank and in months time they will become liverocks again ? Isn's it very easy to make " dead dry " rocks to become liverocks again ?

i would love to up your rep but I can't as i am not empowered to do so , well all i can do is to give you a barracuda free if i do get 1 during my fishing trip . Cheers!

If the parameters are right, coralline will start growing in abt 1month time.

Dont worry abt the rep points, its meant to be a joke

bro , i am really a layman to these aspects , maybe if someone would be real kind to offer his time to help/guide me upgrade and do a proper maintainance to my current messy Dr Freak setup .

i have adding funny addictives into my tank not knowing if these are going to harm or improve the water conditions , i have lost a lot on livestocks , when they die , i buy , they die again .
