| I use a few pieces of LR, but not too many. I think that the bacteria sooner or later will grow on the egg crate and glass/acrylic, but to help stablize a new clean system, I would add some LR  | |

| I do not worry about PH and never have. As for stability, that has more about consumption vs addition more than about the presence of LR or not | |

| I'm thinking about getting brightwells zeolite stones and run them in a reactor and dose mb7 and vodka like I do on my display... I'm thinking the stones might do well and I wouldn't need live rock... Hmmmmm..
I will get it cycled with Rock and then play... Lol | |

| Why not just run the LR in the sump and after the systems starts to stablize start removing small amounts at a time until the system is stable without it. | |

| I personally hate live rock because it is detrius trap IMO... I'm gonna do what you suggested roc and then try to run it as a quarantine tank real simple just a skimmer and lights... lol | |
