Live rock?

[Ldoughty]

Biocube 32 up and been running for a few weeks. I have a couple clownfish and they're doing well. While currently I have live sand and dry rock, I'm considering either doing only live rock or simply adding live rock. Thoughts?

Do you have a pic of your aquascape?

I love real live rock, It has so many cool things and life. but it comes with bad guys too.

Quarantining the live rock to make sure you don’t add anything you don’t want in the tank may be helpful.

I'm old school live rock all the way from as many diverse sources as possible. Used to be a lot easier and have a lot more selection. To each their own though. Depends on the look you want to achieve.

This is what I've got currently.

Is there a way to ensure that if and when I get live rock that it won't have harmful bacteria/algae?

I would add some after quarantining it. You have plenty of room for more rock.

Got it. What's the best way to quarantine? Do I need an entirely separate tank?

A 5 gallon bucket, Powerhead, heater and light is all you need to quarantine.
