aquariumlover10 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 So I have an idea, you set up a low tech SW tank, with dry sand, dry rock and nothing else, let it cycle for a week or two, and go to the beachabd get a rock that has nothing on it(but has bacteria stuff on it) and let it sit and see what was on the rock, let it sit for like 8months or something and see.

colorfan Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Depends on where you collect your rock. Most likely just pods, worms and maybe some small crabs living in the rock. Possibly something you dont want in a tank also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I know, It wouldn't be a permanent setup, just to see what is actually on those little pieces of rock at the beach, I would collect from a busy public beach, I am saying like a fishing spit I something.

Why not just collect several rocks and the sand from the beach . Wet sand not dry . You will get the most life this way . I have collected rocks and sunken woof from 4 feet depth of water and it had interesting life such as tiny stars, feather dusters, etc . kaydoubleyou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
