That is, if I kept the fish and other critters to a minimum? Also, (as you can see Im new) is it possible to add other, "dead rock" that the live rock may spread to thus making my own live rock? It seems that I have heard this is possible. If it is possible, what type of "dead rock" should i add? Any suggestions would be great. One last thing, is there any functional difference between live sand and live rock? That is, are the same microbes and algae found on both live rock and live sand? _________ "Commit it to the flames: For it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion" -Hume 45 Gallon Bow, Oddysea 250w Halide w 2x28w actinic, Coralife skimmer...
