Coral Reef Aquarium
Would I be able to mix live rock with fake rock(to save some money)if Im making a coral Reef Tank?If I put t?
Heyy! Okay so my brother and I are starting up a reef aquarium and we just had a questions.. 
It’s a 46gallon tank and we’re planning to fill it with a nice big clump of live rock.. But as I’m sure you guys would know live rock can get pretty pricey (about $10/1lb >.<) and with how much live rock my brother wants lol and the tank will allow >.- it’s going to cost somewhere over $300!!! =/ Anyways.. I thought I read something that said a person could use just normal or fake rock for a normal marine aquarium if they didn’t want to do the whole coral reef look.. and I was just wondering if, to maybe cut down on some of the cost for live rock, I could just put down some normal rock as a base and then jsut cover it with live rock and still be able to get different anemones etc. And still have a happy healthy tank ready for fish..??? thnks for the help ^^
l assume you are intending to use live rock as the main part of your biological filtration system, if this is the case the rule of thumb is half a kilo of live rock per imperial gallon of water, therefore you will need approximately 40lb’s of live rock for a 46 US gallon system.
Because live rock is extremely heavy you could fill in the short fall for your landscaping with other fake rock or even lava rock or alfagrog which in time will also become home to beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
l personally wouldn’t put any “pretend” rock ornaments etc in a marine tank, as in my view it just cheapens the effect.
