Reef Rock? Not sure what that is specifically...
When dealing with a Salt Water aquarium there is
Base Rock (could be dry or wet)
Live Rock
Base Rock simply means it has no living bacteria
Live Rock means it is colonized with living bacteria. It may or may not have other organisms on it (coral, hitch hikers, algae etc).

Thanks
Perhaps it's our equivalent of base rock it's what's in my QT for hiding purposes
Algae has started to grow but i wil be adding copper to treat fish will it prove to be a issue in any way?
Just to be clear it's only purpose is to provide hiding places and break te tank up as well as to make it look a bit more pleasing as its in the front room
Prob turn it into fish only ( couple small small fish) to keep the system going and to encourage me to maintain and monitor it

Sk8rdn thanks enough said rock will be removed before I add any copper/medications
I wonder if this is the same for all medicines we use in QT or more importantly in the main system
Could dosing ever be correct in the Maine tank with reef safe chems? I mean rocks absord and potentially leech so when dosing MT how do you know that it isn't actually the reef safe white spot treatment that's not working or the fact it's being absorbed so dose isn't enough to treat
I don't believe everyone has a QT - reason I'm questioning if that's makes sense
Also for my own knowledge purpose as I read and have questions
Hope I'm not annoying anyone
