Is there any live rocks, corel, aquacultured corels, that can live in a Malawi Tank, or Freshwater tank?

Thanks. Probably not but thought i'd ask.

None to my knowledge

Thats why i am just about to get a marine tank! 15 years I have had fish and never had the balls to set one up, now i have looked into it I am thinking why didnt I do this in the first place!

If i had enough money i would get one now.
But as some may now i already have a bigish list of wants/gets.

So maybe in a couple years, when i have my reps, and all ok in vivs etc.

live rock wont survive in a malawi tank cos ph is too high u might get sum freshwater sponges growing on but corals wont last either

I was on a site earlier and the Ph for a couple i read was 8.1+ so how is Malawis too high?

Thanks

my apologies too low was wot i should have said i run my marine at 8.2 with live rock and a skimmer only and my malawi at 7.6 buffered with tufa rock and aragonite sand

Surely the reason liverock wont survive in a malawi tank is that the malawi tank is freshwater and a marine tank, is well, marine, where live rock comes from?

The organisms and bacteria on live rock will survive some time at a lower salinity (like brackish water, maybe 1.011 sg or higher), but I would have thought that was about it. Regardless of the pH, I dont think live rock would stand any amount of time in a freshwater tank.

Exactly right, the whole point in LR is the bacteria that it contains, adding it to freshwater tank would just give you expensive decoration.

I want some live rock because the look. It looks good. So could i put some in the tank? it just wouldnt do anything...except look good, and effective?
Or would it die, or make the ruin the water for the Malawi?

Thanks

No, definitely dont put any in. You can buy all sorts of other rock (tufa rock is good for alkaline water tanks, as it releases carbonates, taking up spare hydrogen ions, and so increasing the pH).

Live rock will indeed die quickly, and horribly pollute your tank

Sorry, dont want to be negative! lol. Just dont want you to ruin the tank...
