Lava rock in a fish only salt water tank?

Coral reefer

Past President
Anyone know if lava rock is okay to use... I've seen some tanks that are settup like that and I never see any coraline on it...seems like it might effect ph or other things too, but likely would be able to host good bacteria and maybe even pods and such? Opinions and or knowledege on the subject?

As and addition, what rock CAN'T you use? Within reason, no crack rocks in my tank.

There are a ton you want to stay away from for aquariums, freshwater, marine, FO, reef, etc. The make up of the rock is the biggest hurdle. Silica, phosphate, iron, mercury, etc all can be contained in rcok.

lace rock is fine for FO but is questionable with reef tanks. Try to not get red, but rather the whiter stuff. You don't need the extra minerals the "colored" ones have.
