Every Saltwater Aquarium needs live rock. Of
course these rocks are not actually alive but are covered with
colonies of marine life that live on and inside of the rock.
The live rock enhances the appearance of the aquarium and the
water quality to provide the ideal environment in Saltwater Marine and Reef Aquariums.

Live Rocks are pieces of coral that have broken off from a coral
reef, the corals have died, and their remains have become covered with
other types of living organisms, such as coraline
algae and sponges. Live rock is sometimes
called reef rock.
Live Rock is exported from many different reefs throughout the
world, including Fiji, Tonga, Namoli, the Marshall Islands, and the Caribbean. Each of these areas exports a unique
looking rock, and you can see samples of several types of live rock in the pictures above.
Live Rock is Important in both fish-only aquariums and
in coral reef aquariums. Live rock is the natural home
for saltwater reef fish, and live rock is essential for the
health and comfort of reef fish.
Live rock is also the perfect home for the beneficial bacteria
that provide biological filtration in aquariums. It is much more difficult to keep a saltwater fish tank without plenty of live rock.

a Special Pet Fish Interview hosted by The Bailey
Brothers about How to Start a Saltwater Aquarium, including
comments about Live Rock plus many other tips for a successful Saltwater Aquarium.
How much live rock does an aquarium need? The recommended
amount of Live Rock in a saltwater aquarium is about 1½ to 2
pounds per gallon. So a 30-gallon saltwater aquarium should have
about 45 to 60 lbs. of live rock. It's acceptable to mix
live rock from different islands to give your aquarium a completely
unique appearance.
Live Rock is easy to maintain and is recommended for all
aquarists from the beginners to the experts. Live Rock requires
moderate lighting and moderate water movement. Click

Special Additives
Live Rock also needs special
additives that contain minerals and nutrients. These additives
also help to enhance the beautiful colors in the live rocks.
With the proper conditions and nutrients your live rocks will
begin to grow and become covered with many
living organisms, such as coraline algae and sponges that
naturally live in coral reefs. It's lots of fun to grow live rock.

Live
Invertebrates
Essential in every Saltwater Aquarium.
Every Saltwater Aquarium needs an assortment of
invertebrates such as crabs, sponges, shrimps, clams, and marine snails. They are interesting, comical, colorful, and
perform useful functions in saltwater, marine, and reef aquariums.
Click
here for more information about saltwater invertebrates.
Live
sand is full of beneficial bacteria including anaerobic bacteria
that convert nitrate to nitrogen, which then evaporates from
the aquarium. The layer of live sand must be thick to do this,
and a layer from 3" to 6" or even deeper is recommended in a
saltwater aquarium. The sand also provides an ideal bed for the
live rock and prevents the rocks from scratching or cracking the
bottom of the aquarium.

Summary
Live Rock, Sand, and Invertebrates are Essential
in every Saltwater, Marine,
and Reef Aquarium, because they enhance the water conditions and
stabilize the water chemistry in the aquarium, making it much
easier to keep the fish alive and well.
Live needs special additives to grow and flourish. Live
invertebrates and live sand are also important in all salt water
aquariums.
