Live Rock As A Filter.

[Allen]

Added my live rock on saturday and its been sitting there now for 48 hours.

The only life that has appeared out of it so far is a few feather duster worms. (very small though)

One thing that really suprises me is how clear the water has gone - its crystal clear !

Yup, doesnt take that long. Sounds like your chemistry is doing well if featherdusters are allready out

You should have a look with a red flashlight, about an hour after your lights are off. You'd be amazed on how much life you'll find on the rock

I'm a little confused, did you have to buy live rock special i don't know if I have never seen a feather duster or any living come out of my live rock for that matter? is this common?

 

[SkiFletch]

Large feather dusters like Allen has are actually pretty rare as far as LR is concerned. I've got a bunch of smaller ones, but none the size of what he's got. My LR is now over 6 months old and I still see new things in my tank. Just found my first brittle star that I never knew I had a couple weeks ago
