  • Aquascaping Lab by Tommaso Perini and Serena Sacchi, presents a video on importance and work of Live Reef Rock for saltwater aquarium.
    They are used for two basic and fundamental reasons: Structural and aesthetic, and biological filtration.
    Live rocks are fragments of limestone material of coral origin that are detached from the reef and exported for sale on the aquarium market. Will play a aesthetic role giving a very natural look to the aquarium, and a structural role, being the basis on which you'll position live corals, crustaceans and fish. after some months, will tend to "cemented" thanks to the work of the calcareous algae.
    Unlike freshwater aquarium, that has how main biological filter, the porous material inside the filter, in reef aquarium we rely on these fantastic rocks because they have two main properties:
    1 - A high porosity and therefore an ease colonization of the Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria that perform the transformation process of the Ammonium to Nitrite and then in Nitrate, (inside we have anaerobic bacteria, in exterior part, aerobic bacteria) then lowering chemically all the waste substances of the animals and that would be dangerous for their health.
    2 - Each rock is populated by hundreds of protozoa micro-invertebrates and those contributes significantly to the aquarium ecosystem biodiversity and consequently to its stability. The encrusting fauna consists mostly of tiny worms, crustaceans and molluscs, that feeding contribute to the removal of debris and cancellation of some pollutants dissolved in water. Moreover, the rocks release continuously larvae of organisms that enrich the Plankton of the tank, an important source of live food for invertebrates. Creating a real food chain that could not be created artificially by purchasing microorganisms from the merchants but that with the maturation occurred in the sea, imported directly into our tank.
    Generally, in the market there are different types of live rock from Indonesian seas, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic and Mediterranean, and can be classified into various types:
    - Basic rocks: have a lower cost, and we can positioned under of live rock, are very porous limestone, jagged still quite "virgin" that, with time, will be colonized by micro organisms introduced into the tub .
    - Rocks with vegetation colonized by one or more species of algae.
    - Rocks with zoanthids: They come mainly from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, they are collected in transparent waters and are colonized by one or more species of zoanthids.
    - Rocks with invertebrates such Discosoma: Hailing from the Pacific and covered by disc-shaped invertebrates, of various diameters of green, blue, orange or pink.
    How can understand if a live rock is of good quality or not? A living rock of excellent quality has a porous, spongy structure with numerous holes and cavities.
    not a good rocks is often covered by a thin slurry and gives off a strong smell of decomposition by the death of micro-organisms.
    How can I prepare a rock before release into the aquarium? Before putting in the tank it is better to observe them, wash in salt water to avoid an ammonia peak impact. During this operation it is better to have a container of aquarium water in case it should appear some surprise guest, should then capture it and separate it. You must be careful to these guests for example crabs, initially very nice and a few millimeters but in a few months can turn into predators. Attention also to mantis shrimps: often found in the Indonesian rocks and once inadvertently placed in the tank will be almost impossible to catch them. Another unwelcome presence is the annelids worms, especially those fitted with bristles and hairs, which can reach considerable size and even feed on corals and molluscs.
    The ratio in a tank with fish and corals should be indicatively from a minimum of 1 kg of rock per 10 liters of water, to a maximum of 1 kg per 5 liters. Remember that the cost of live rock, especially if good quality, will be unique but high and unfortunately necessary:
    for a 500 liter aquarium the amount will be between 1,000 and 2,000 euro

    ciao sono inesperto lo so, ho un marino da soli 2 anni ma posso dirvi che il verme cane (quelli con quelle spine che sembrano setole) sono gli essere viventi più utili perché sono i migliori detrivori. Io allevo sps e prima avevo lps e molli e non ho mai avuto problemi con i vermi. comunque belle immagini e ittime spiegazioni!!! Sono felice che c'è qualcuno che spieghi ai neofiti cos'è un vero acquario marino...

      Grazie mille per i complimenti e per la tua esperienza, si dipende dagli animali che troviamo nelle rocce, ce ne sono di vari tipi, alcuni utili altri dannosi anche se molto simili tra loro, quindi merita sempre pulire bene e controllare

    Prima di tutto volevo dirvi che siete davvero bravi :) Volevo chiedervi un consiglio su quali coralli molli potrei inserire nel mio nanoreef 30lt? ho appena finito la maturazione della vasca..le mie rocce vive hanno gia un po di zoantidi..

      Grazie mille!!! attendi l uscita delle schede tecniche sui coralli, così saprai quale usare

    Per adesso un acquario marino è solo un sogno per me! ;-)
    Comunque bellissimo questo video! Molto chiaro e informativo!
    Potreste fare un video dedicato anche all'uso delle attrezzature come le pompe, gli aeratori e ossigenatori ?(quando usarli ecc)
    Grazie per i video che fate! Ciaoooo!;-)

    Ciao... volevo chiedere una cosa. Nel mio acquario marino, con roccia viva, sino presenti parecchi verme-cane. Veramente tanti. Devo procurarmi qualcosa per eliminarli? Almeno una parte?..... o cosa posso fare?......
    Grazie mille

    • @AquascapingLab
      @AquascapingLab  6 років тому

      se sono molti potrebbero danneggiare l ecosistema anche se si nutrono di pesci morti o sostanze in putrefazione, quindi cerca di rimuoverli manualmente se non vuoi annullare l' effetto delle rocce vive

      Grazie mille!!! ma certo, dalle settimane prossime iniziamo ad alternare marino e dolce, questo era l ultimo della serie "chimica dell acqua marina"

    Le rocce NON vengono STACCATE vengono prese quelle distaccate dalla barriera...

    se li prendo a mare le rocce nn faccio prima? sai comè 1200 euro

    • @AquascapingLab
      @AquascapingLab  6 років тому

      dipende dove le prendi, e che tipo di ambiente vuoi ricreare

      Se vuoi ricreare un acquario pozza di marea, ti conviene.
