Just A Question

[stephen.h89]

ok so i have a question about live rock, say you didnt like the look of live rock in your display tank would it work if u put the live rock in the sump instead?

i have no intention of doing it i was just wondering if it would work

Yes it would as Live Rock is a method of filtration, so aslong as there is ample flow around it, it should be fine to do. You would need a large sump though to provide enough room for the live rock and other bits of hard ware etc.

I don't actually have a marine tank as of yet but I'm pretty sure that I'm on the right lines.

Yes it would work fine and is what i plan on doing in my seagrass tank.

I am going to have a few large boulders in the main tank with the rest in the sump.

wow i had a good idea...lol, my tank is 140 ltr and my sump will be 118 ltr, so i would say the sump would be big enough if i did decide to do it?

Sump should be fine, you'd need approx 25kgs of liverock.

Most places charge around the same for liverock and it will depend on what rock you want.

Have a look here http/live-rock.co.uk/, about as cheap as your gonna get it.
