Hi everyone,

i am new and still at the buying of equipment stage to set up my marine tank. As converting my 10 gallon 1.5ft FW tank to marine.

i went to irwarna, golden octopus and i have not seen the type of dead rocks below like white in color and such. And i have not seen a Live rock that is substantially covered in coraline algae. My plan is to have multiple dead rocks and maybe one or 2 live rocks covered in coraline algae so it will spread afterwards. I know i need live sand but just want to reduce the chances of getting pest from buying all live rocks.

any idea where i can buy these type white dead rocks and live rocks that is at least 50% covered in coraline algae ?

as most of the marine LFS is abit inaccesible to go to dont want to waste time to go there and cant find what i am looking for.

Another option:

Buy all dead rocks. Get the cycling done.

Then buy a piece of small live rock full of Coraline algae and then grate the Coraline algae at high flow area (turn off skimmer), let the Coraline grates spread. In few weeks you should notice Coraline start growing everywhere.

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
