Adding dry rock to established tank?

Hey guys,

I have about 37-40 lbs of LR right now on my 46 g. I'd like to maybe put in 10+ lbs of rock into the tank, and it can be dry rock. Question is, if I use cured Lr and maybe spray it with a hose when it arrives and let it dry, can I add it directly to the tank? (its already running with 3 fish and a large CUC)

Thanks!

 

I would just use straight up dry rock. if you dry your rock out you will still have a spike from the die off inside the rock. plus why spend the extra on LR if you want dry?

 

If it is 100% dry. rinse it with rodi and scrub her with a toothbrush (that isnt yours lol) set it in the sun to dry and pop it in. Dry rock wont hurt the tank much, if at all. then it will be LR soon.

 

Sorry that's what I meant. Anyone know a good site for this?

 

BRS and Marco rocks come to mind. Check LFS, the ones here in Florida, well near me anyway, carry identical stuff usually.

 

Will do, but mine I believe only sells rocks for FW (like white ones)

 

bummer dude. either site mentioned should hook u up. I plan on ordering from marco soon if my lfs doesn't have a selection.

 

this is Dry rock for Fresh or more so for SW.
Cheap very porous and beautiful

I used reefcleaners, they had a great product plus they are a sponsor.

 

Sorry to dig up this thread guys... I just didnt want to start a new one for no reason. Ok so I ordered some dry rock from reefrocks and am finishing up making the aquascape additions... heres my question... I pressurewashed all the rocks off and have made a couple aquascapes to add to my current sysem... just want to make it look better than 4 big rocks. in your opinions should i just go ahead and add them watching the water params, or should i cure the rock for a week or so in some ocean water with a powerhead? or should i just put it in.

I need to start a tank thread... tank was a transfer in august... now have leather, sinularis, rics, yumas, zoos, palys(i think), frogspawn, and some monitporas (7), mystery wrasse, mimic brown tang, and plenty of cuc...75 gallon, 2x 120w full spectrum led's, bubble magus curve 5 skimmer, 20 gal wed/dry (about to make 40g fuge/berlin sump).
