Live Rock In A Freshwater Tank?

[fauxshow]

I have about fifty pounds of live rock that was in a FOWLR tank about two years go. I had to take the tank down and the live rock (which is not live anymore) has been in five gallon buckets in storage. I'm looking to set up a freshwater planted tank, starting with a lot of plants that will grow attached to other things (mosses/ferns) The live rock has a lot of good shape and texture, is there any reason I shouldn't put it in a freshwater tank and grow plants to cover it? It's just sitting around in storage otherwise...

It will raise your PH, to be honest, I would buy some seiryu stone, it's fairly cheap and it looks brilliant.

As truck said, it will raise pH to roughly about 8-8.5.
Going for Malawis might work, but again, no plants.

Thanks, guys. I figured it wouldn't be suitable. I'm just not ready to get back into the saltwater game yet. Guess the live rock will stay in storage

i wanted a sw tank but didnt have the time to maintain one, so i invested in a fw tank based on a sw tank.

i used coral sand circa 85kg - high grade tmc rock, artificial hand painted etc
