thinklogically Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 For live rock,I want to seed some dry rock. Can I use lava rock or any other saltwater rock instead? Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 It's not good in any manner. Porosity is about a third of LR so less bacteria. Also it's riddled with phosphates leading to massive algae outbreaks. It'll take about 5yrs for those to finish leeching out. Link to comment

dpoltsdsu Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Too bad that nobody sells a look alike lave rock for reefs. That would make for some interesting Hawaiian biotopes. Link to comment
