Holy Rock

[byron47]

Just checking here, I was told that you can use Holy Rock in your Saltwater tanks and it would be ok? Thanks for any answers to this.

Well, My LFS had used Holy Rock at one time to display coral colonies. They redid their coral tanks and put the holy rock in their "live rock" tubs. So I guess to answer your question, Yes, I believe you can.

I have only seen that rock used in churches. Suprisingly enough it is very common in tanks full of angel fish.

It's your white rock that has holes throughout. You see some in Freshwater tanks. That's just the name I was told that it's called there might be another name for it. Just checking to see if it could be put into a saltwater tank.

I have some Holey rock it's very dense and looks like urchins have worked it. It's not porous like a good base rock from Marcos Rocks.

I chose not to use it in my reef tank. I did use a few pieces in my fw tank.

Here is a pic of the rock that came with the tank I bought on CL:
