Do I Need Lighting For Live Rock?

[charlie]

First off:


Secondly, what are you doing with the live rock, are you cycling a tank??????
When I cycled mine, I just went ahead and poured the lite to the tank, on a normal lite cycle. Do you think you could manage to give us a tiny bit more info???

Well Ya I Wanted To Put Some In My Tank To Help The Cycle, But My Tank Only Gives off around 30W and its a 55 gallon tank. So Im Not sure if lighting affect live rock.

Won't do anything but help it. Coralline loves lower light.

I got a few more Questions if you don't mind,

do i need live rock for a salt water setup?

And If not is there some type of filter i should get?

[charlie]

Live rock is the best filtration for any saltwater set up, I think that will answer both of those questions. Do a little looking around this site man, you are gonna get some good info on any type of saltwater set up.
