How Do You Cure Live Rock For A Salt Water Fish Tank?
Saltwater fish tanks can be a beautiful piece of living art. One amazing feature of a self-sufficient tank is live rock. Live rock in saltwater fish tanks act as a natural filtration system, which can save you time and money by reducing the number of times you have to test water and change it out. Live rock can also be expensive so if you encounter any live rock that has been out of the tank for awhile, or your live rock is “dead,” there is a way to get it back as a beautiful filter and anchor for coral or plants. Place the live rock inside a measured container big enough to cover the rock with at least 3 inches of water. Fill the container with properly mixed saltwater. Make sure you get a quality brand of saltwater made for saltwater fish tanks and not some off-brand. The higher quality salt you have, the better chances of reviving the live rock. Use a hydrometer to ensure you have the proper salinity mix. Insert a fish tank heater into the container and set it between 78 and 80 degr
