Ok. I have a question.
I know you need Live sand and Live rock for filtration. But would it be possable to buy like 1-2 lbs of live rock and enough live sand(cause its cheap) then put like lace rock in with it.... Dead rock i guess. I can get "dead rock" cheap.
Will the live rock move to the other rock... like if you mix sand it will all become live. Dose it work with rock. and if so how long will it take me.
Im in no hury, as i would have to cycle the tank anyway. Just trying to cut costs where I can.
Its going to be a 5-10gallon with one maybe 2 fish and possable corals later on. I know its considered a nano reef, but that forum dossent seem to be to active so i thought I would come here.
I figure if I can keep a 10g stable for long enough to grow the rock out and cycle it then i should be able to keep the fish ok too... I Have been doing pretty good with FW. And am looking for a little more challenge.
Thanks for any help
