Things You'll Need
- Live rock
Instructions
Raise the live rock off the bottom of the tank with substrate. This can be sand, shells, or some other combination base.
Stack the live rock away from the walls of your tank. It will allow for better water circulation and enable your fish to swim where they please.
Stack the rock loosely. Try to use the same kind of rock throughout your entire tank to make stacking easier.
Arrange the rock with holes and crannies anywhere you can. If you have flat pieces, stack them across two other rocks to provide places for your crabs and snails to move.
Check the rocks as you add them to make sure they don't move too easily. If they do you will have to find another spot to place the rocks so they don't topple on your fish or the other creatures in your tank.
