lockrookie 05-03-2012 07:33 AM

my random thought for the day..

why do we sell live rock cheaper than we buy it for... should we not at least get it for the same price we paid..even add a bit more to the value... seriously tho.. its cured tried tested and proven in most tanks..(given you use copper with it it should be decreased) you spent all the time growing coraline on it.. that should account for something.. never mind the countless hours spent getting rid of those nasty hitchikers (given some are cool...) you would think fellow reefers would pay retail for live rock in such good condition..

dont gt mewrong like everyone i enjoy thelive rock deals and prefer the pre cured to the nasty rock... i just thought it was funny how we undersell certian importants parts to the hobby

Nano 05-04-2012 02:02 AM

This little one will hate me when I am older for posting cute (embarassing in the future) pics of her! Like today, I got the Zoolander look "Blue Steel" and I laughed so Hard! here it is, thought some of you might get a laugh as well

Simple. Live rock is a nutrient sponge. The longer you've had it, the more crap is built up in the pores. You see it all the time with people buying budget used rock, then 3 months later they have huge algae issues. And if the rock was really piled up thick, it's even worse. Years ago I had a 150g with over 200# of rock. When I dismantled it, it was disgusting. Essentially a big sink for sewage, and just stewing in it. Personally, I wouldn't use used rock if it were free. Who knows what's in it, how long it sat around, and how many months or years is it going to take to fix the problems it introduces.
To maximize the life of my rock, I use about 1/2pound per gallon, and ensure there is flow around all sides. To me, buying used rock is buying trouble, unless the owner is shutting down a recently setup tank. But over 2 yrs old, keep it!

Is pneumonia age dependant? I thought it was fluid in your lungs and could happen to anybody.

Flash 05-05-2012 04:17 PM

More common in people over the age of 65. But because I has a weaken immune system due to my heart it snuck right on in there! Lol

The Grizz 05-05-2012 04:34 PM

I have had it twice due to zinc poisoning from welding galvanized metal, it can happen to everyone if the conditions are right.

The zinc flu is nasty. Had it once when I worked at a culvert plant welding galvanized. They gave us respirators but half the time it was too hot to wear them.

I think febreeze is probably the worst of the bunch. I guess when it costs you $0.05 to make your product and you sell it for $7.99 you can afford ridiculous amounts of advertising.

My philosophy when buying coral:

"god that will look trippy under the LED's"

It's no fun at all & filter masks / respirators can be a pain in the arse.
