hi mate live rock has living things on it and is extremely pourus


however ocean rock iss dead and not as pourus so will become a bit live if you add live rock with it but on it own will not be the same as lr

hope that helped

Ocean rock stayway from in a marine aquarium youll seem to get a bit of p04 relecing from it but i would go for reef rock that will be come live over a short period of time but might want to dip it in plane ro for 2-3 weeks to get rid of the p04 usally comes in about £5-7 per kilo
