It is the base of every aquarium so it is important to choose the right kind. Fortunately, AlgaeBarn has you covered. The only way to be 100% safe is by using dry rocks. Using dry scaping material ensures they are clean and have no pests of any kind. Although the rocks do not have that desired bacteria, you can easily add the bacteria using a bottled product. Bottled bacteria even works better than the wild bacteria that comes on live rocks. Another added benefit to buy it from Algaebarn is the price. You can buy 100 pounds of rock for $225. Live, on the other hand, can cost as much as ten dollars per pound. That would be $1,000 for 100 pounds! Assuming you will want to add copepods to your tank (because that is the smart thing to do), AlgaeBarn provides superb habitats that will allow the copepods to thrive and reproduce. AlageBarn also offers clam rocks, which come with the clam keeper kits or on their own.
