Need help in setting up/ transferring a new reef

[koda_dad]

okay here is my next option... more $$ surprise surprise...

Live Rock for Saltwater and Reef Aquarium - Halifax Pet Accessories - Kijiji Halifax

1/2 and 1/2 young and premium work well?

 

[yote]

Yep.That would be fine.:D

What is the benefit of going all premium, or 1/2 and 1/2 or say 1/3 premium and 2/3 eco.

Would it be worth the extra cash?

 

[yote]

I dont that there would be a difference.Except your wallet being a bit lighter.:D
Just try to pick rock that feels lighter than it looks.And give it the sniff test.If you can smell any kind of ammonia odor,then set that rock aside and look at some more.

the premium looks to have a lot more coraline on it... I know thats a good thing... but how important is it :)

Will it just speed things up? Make corals grow better...sorry very new...still absorbing so much info.

 

[Bifferwine]

Not that important. The coralline will die off as soon as its exposed to air anyways. It will grow back with time. It won't speed anything up, it will just look nicer sooner :)

If you go for the premium.Take some coolers and newspapers with you.
Fill the cooler about 1/2 full of saltwater,then what rock is sticking out of the water,cover with the newspaper.That'll help insure that your rock has minimal die-off if any at all.
