Default

we are seeing a lot of people that have used a large percentage of dry rock coming into the shop with issues......nutrient/algae issues, high nitrates, loosing fish etc.....after we talk things through with them we find out that they have, lets say, a 100g tank with 80lbs of dry and 20lbs of live..... they have 8 fish in six monthes and cant figure out whats causing their issues......the tank simply cant cope with the bio-load....Im glad that what you did worked for you, but I try and caution people that choose to use dry rock to be extra patient
