You could not pay me to use L/R I have a friend that farms the stuff and sells it to a large Fl based Rock retailer and he does not even use it himself Just simple old base rock it all becomes alive in a few months once its been colonized by bacteria. But then you get the ones who I guess think they need to justify the expense some then say I have so much more bio diversity with it LOL Yes the good and the bad and the ugly. All the good diversity will come in anyways the ones that will live that is the bad and ugly will also maybe come in at some point as well But thats up to the tanks owner and then at least they got the pest for free and not cash.
I have never used it and I would never use L/R its totally unneeded to keep a great reef tank in my opinion. I've never needed it. I tried it twice in small play tanks like the experts use to form their opinions from to write their books , but never in a large display tank. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) |
