This is how I understand that J.K. (living stones) are drying, damn.

Aaron6112

:-))))))))))))))))) :-))))))))))))))))) HERE YOU GO, IZH.K. (living stones)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-))))))))))))))))) I'm going to die from laughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like living sand.

Wanda666

Here you have a purchase from "KOLЁS"... I don't see the point))) IMHO

Brandi

This is not J.K. (living stones), it is S.K. (dry stone) and/or M.K. (dead stone)

Steven

Well, if you're buying dry rocks in Fiji... Like, we don't have enough of our own. Still, will anyone competently answer the question: Are live rocks really taken from the sea and delivered here in seawater? How does live sand arrive to us? In dry form in little bags? Sorry for the questions, but as they say, I'm a beginner in marine stuff.

Amy1672

Who will answer you! The suppliers (who can be counted on your fingers) won't respond. And someone else won't know... But still, from the stones that all sorts of things are sold to us, something comes out... and it's unlikely you can start an aquarium without this "dead weight" called live rocks.

Kimberly

Well, why won't they respond... I'll try to clarify the situation. J.K. (live rocks) arrives in a humid environment packed in thermal boxes. Some of the organisms inevitably die, which is why there is a concept of quarantine. The methods of quarantine also vary. Regarding the rocks in the photo, they undergo a second healing process, but already in stable aquasystems. Acquiring beneficial and desirable organisms.

I am plagued by vague doubts that nothing settles there. If everything were so simple, then why not populate limestone, tuff, etc.? And what does "in stable aquasystems" mean? Is a coral reef not a stable system? P.S. This somewhat reminds me of the joke "Steal a box of vodka, pour out the vodka, return the bottles, and with the money buy a bottle of vodka."

Look here about J.K. (living stones):

Read carefully. There are my observations...

I still haven't been convinced that launching with 100% live rock is better than any other option. I still believe it's a marketing gimmick. Like pores, nitrate processing, natural material. No one has disproven that sandstone is not worse than live rock. Live rock is only about 10% beneficial for bacteria, and that's if it's truly alive.

Lynn4242

Well, you really are an expert.

Ashley5975

I don't claim to be an expert (as they say: live for a century, learn for a century), but 12 years of professional experience in marine aquaristics has taught me something.

Continuing to apply Occam's principle, I will continue the topic. Ocean Direct I've been pondering this product for about a month. I figured out that the whole secret lies in the packaging. Today, I took a closer look at the picture on the manufacturer's website, and indeed, it says "briefable." There's no smoke without fire - I was informed that they actually managed to launch an aquarium in record-breaking short timeframes, which I won't mention directly, as I would be laughed at. Who has used it? And how close is the advertising to the truth in this case?

I want to say about live sand that we pay not only for the water but also for the quality. In dry sand, the grain size is very fine, which is perfect for DSB, while in live sand, the grain size is slightly coarser, making it ideal for the bottom of the aquarium. I haven't heard any bad recommendations about live sand. For example, in six months, I sold 5 tons of live sand and 1 ton of dry sand. Everyone is satisfied.
