i think it is a waste .. why dun u sell ur liverock and buy some fresh water rock ... wouldnt it solve all ur prob ?? just a suggestion ....

NO need for any procedure.. just be prepared for ammonia spike as all the bacteria/hitchhikers dies due to the freshwater. It's a waste if u ask me... putting LR in freshwater for decoration purpose will not be feasible as all the coralline algae will die and ur LR will be covered in white calcium carbonate skeleton encrusted on them. If you wanna use porous rock to decorate your tank get Lava rock..

Hi Reefer,

thanks. As I might be dropping the upgrading to 3FT tank. So does not want to sells off the 1 piece 10KG mountain slope like LR.

(Bought at $90+)

And my new 3FT 3x2x2 tank is likely going to be setup as fresh water tank. (now only with fresh water for leakage test)

going to sells off a large amount of sand (40KG Grade 0 sand 20KG grade 1, 20KG (per carton) RedSed sand , 4KG per bag, 2ft sump unsused shortly) all unopen.

Also at the end might tear down my current 2ft tank and sells of LS and the stuff inside.

Many thanks

i think your water will stink too ..or u dry it under the sand..after soaking in freshwater.
