pishyguy Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 hey i'm pretty newb to the forum, but i can't seem to find out if live rock can dissolve because of low calcium content in my tank. i just started running a 12g jbj nanocube, 14 lbs of live fiji rock. i am using RO pure water from the store that you buy in those 5 gallon clear blue jugs. it seems that my live rock is dissolving. the little holes seem to get bigger and bigger? i checked my ph and its a bit low. i heard to raise it i can use pure baking soda in my water? can someone give me some ideas?

artarmon42 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 LR won't dissolve (at least not in our lifetime). But you ARE mixing salt with your RO water right? Link to comment
