Marcorocks dot com?

Hey has anyone ordered from that site? I'm just about ready to begin my 55 reef tank! I made a last minute decision to cycle my tank with 75% dry rock and 25% live rock. (Is that a good idea or no? I'm still some what new =[ )

Anyways , let me know!

Marco rocks are usually pretty good, don't forget to cure them first though.
Very light rocks so you might end up with a lot more than you think your ordering.

Sounds good. I just cycled my 120 with about 150# of marco rock and 20# of live. I'm starting to see a decent number of critters on the rock.

Awesome! These are the answers my wallet were hoping for!

Another question about Dead rock. Since they are dead, could I use a few pieces for my QT tank ,should I need to treat my new incoming fishes with hypo?

I dont get it....arent marco rocks completely new, without any life at all on them ever?
There was never anything living or dead on these rocks, correct?
How can they cycle when there is nothing in them? I thought the cycle happened b/c of die off, which causes a spike in...nitrates,etc, which leads to a spike in amonnia....

Why would these marco rocks cause a cycle?

 

[Rtam3185]

Marco rocks are "dead" however they aren't decayed. That would cause the ammonia spike and will start your cycle.

Yeah, and the cycle kicks in crazy fast! The second day I had them in the water it turned my whole tank yellow and it stunk like ammonia and sulphur.

I still say Sea life inc has some great rock cured or uncured! I got some uncured came with all the goodies and plant life. The color was beyond thought! Cycled in two weeks and im still getting surpises!:splitspin:splitspin:bump::yeah:

Best Rocks ever! not to mention he also makes custom layouts. He uses figi, cherry, and Tonga.

It depends on what you want to accomplish. Evidently this rock still has dead stuff so it will cause a cycle. But you will not got any life from it as you would from uncured live rock. Many people are happy with that since it eliminates unwanted surprises. But if you enjoy discovering new life then live rock is the way to go. Or you can get cured rock from an LFS which eliminates the smell of curing but also has reduced the number of surprises.
