Also yes if you want live rock it would need to be in full saltwater.

Until you add salt to the water and get the specific gravity to where it needs to be AND cycle the tank I wouldnt consider it "up and running" i put in the live rock that died some tiem ago i am wondering how loong it will take for it to grow back and do i need salt in teh water for this to hapen The rock you put in if it is dead is not "live" rock...it is infact base rock. Nothing will every grow on it unless you add more live rock to the tank AFTER you have salt added to the water and at the specific gravity required. Slow down....way down, and take some time to do a LOT of reading and research [hr width='40%']I lay here in my bed and dream of you Hoping you are dreaming of me too... Someday the miles will be less and we will dream together Your heart and mine Always and Forever...
