Rocks at LFS?

Uncured rock gives you the option of 'soft cycling', which just means you minimize the ammonia so as little dies off as possible during the initial cure... http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...owtopic=180442 This just means your hitchhikers live. People get cool fanworms and corals and polypy thingys that no one has names for. You can also cook your rock to 'clean' it of the creepy things... http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=44859

Thanks guys!
I'm glad i got some answers here

I guess my next step is to get some uncured rocks

hopefully i can find something less pricey..

Aquatic Addictions has cured live rock and it is the same price as uncured. It does not magically become more expensive when cured. I have bought both cured and uncured rock from them and it was all the same price. Hope this helps.

I bought some from Ocean Aquatics that was a great price and almost cured.
Maybe check when their next shipment comes in.

Thanks for all the feedback!!

I went to Ocean Aquatics today and got some rocks!! it's such a great store

but i don't think i got enough tho...probably need to go back for more or find it through private sales.

Thanks again!

haha ive been in the hobby in vancouver for over a year and i dont know where aqatic addictions is??

i prefer buying "cured" rock personally saves on the set up time but uncured is definitely the cheaper way to go!

I heard that AA's in Abbotsford
kinda too far for me

I just bought some rocks from Ocean Aquatics. really nice structure and got it all placed in the tank

for some reason tho, it's getting a thin white slimey coat over the rocks.
Is that anything that I should fix? and how?
