15-06-2006 11:37 by shabs	I just came back from barbados and bought back a Rock from the sea and put it into my tank. Will there be any complications.
15-06-2006 12:57 by samy	what set up you got? tropical or marine? if u are going to be puting the rock in a tropical tank i cant see it having any problems as long as you clean the rock before placing it in the tank.
15-06-2006 15:17 by Alan	You have technically broken the law by doing this? Watch out for pollutants.

15-06-2006 15:50 by wayne	stop trying to cut corners ,just get some from you r lfs , and you cant go wrong , i think you night have to pay for it though>
16-06-2006 08:34 by Alan	Firstly we are talking marine so don't boil it for gods sake. You say you bagged it and shipped it within a day or 2 basically I suspect to a certain extent you have bypassed the die back that happens as a result of shipping but you won't have totally bypassed it unless the rock was shipped in water. Watch out for an ammonia spike and make surte your skimmer is working over time. Is your tank already live rock based and how big is the set up hopefully your set up will handle it but be prepared for water changes and lots of them hopefully you won't have much of a die back though. It will be interesting to see what appears on this rock? Basically consider it uncured live rock or partially cured.
16-06-2006 22:15 by shabs	Thatnk you all for your help / Advice. What is Ammonia spike, My tank is a jewul 180 with a couple pieces of live rock.
17-06-2006 00:49 by von	you have a marine tank and you don't know what an ammonia spike is! either this is a wind up or you need to google ''tank cycle''
