    Live rock and Base rock question

    About to start setting up my 75gal FOWLR tank. Found that live rock online is MUCH cheaper then your LFS. Question is that i found a site that offers 60lbs of Base Rock and 15lbs on "premium" live rock for $183 with free shipping. Just curious how long it would take for my Live rock to spread onto my base rock? I'm by no means trying to rush this process at all, just want to get all my timing right.

    depending on water chem. anywhere from 3 months on, if its really good premium rock, maybe less.

    Re: Live rock and Base rock question

    As I've posted to many people, many times: Base rock never turns into live rock in an aquarium.

    You'll get the details on the above from reading through this post: What is Live Rock, Anyway?
