LR question

[latsyrc]

Hey everyone!

We bought a large piece of LR, and put it in the tank.....I was sitting there one day, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw small bits of rock just falling to the bottom. The rock is basically disintegrating all the time. Even more so, when there is a powerhead blowing on it. Is this normal? None of our other rocks are doing this.

LFS won't take it back, should I just scrub the heck out of it and hope for the best? :eusthink

That doesnt sound right at all, unfortuntely I have no answer for you

yeah, we are just throwing it out....took a pressure nozzle to it as a last resort, still no improvement. Chalk it up as a loss, I guess.

Oh, and tank went downhill when we first added that damn rock

I'm sorry to hear that. :sad:

 

[latsyrc]

thanks. Fish/shrimp are okay though.

sounds like limestone rock that is crap. sorry I would really press the issue with the store and even bring the remains back to them. LR isn't all that cheap. and even if it was only a couple bucks then they shouldn't fight it. Sorry again.

yeah. I tried to take it back, but whatever.....We hadn't been shopping there much lately, but they had a LR we wanted, or so we thought.....

Green Valley Aquarium is our store now, they are strictly saltwater, and we like 'em a lot.
