| Re: Liverock Stocking levels
All I can say is that previously I have maintained a healthy SPS reef tank on less than one pound per gallon of Fiji live rock for about a year and a half before I moved. I know that is not a long time by any means (I had a DSB system go bad in a tank in about the same amount of time).
AFA as basics it had live rock, skimmer, halides, no substrate, two fish and lots of corals and lots of flow. Ca, alk, pH were rock steady. Ammonia , nitrites and nitrates were not a factor.
Those are the basics. I will admit it did not look as nice as a tank stuffed with corals and fish, but I was more interested in growing corals to frag and trade. |
