Hello all,
New reefer here in the process of setting up my first saltwater tank. I recently got lucky and was given a 90 gal bow with a good amount of the needed accessories with it( stand sump skimmer led light) . I was also given about 60lbs of live rock that had been sitting out of water for a while and also found a good deal locally on 90lbs that had been also out of water for over a week(guys tank cracked). I am noticing on the live rock i purchased separate alot of it has these short white root like things sticking out of it. I am currently in the process of bleaching the rock and figured that would fall off but i am still seeing a good ammount of it. is it normal for live rock to have these root like things sticking out? Sorry for the low quality picture i will try to get some clearer ones. any input is greatly appreciated. I am trying to do my homework thoroughly before rushing into setting up this tank as i would like to give myself the best odds/ least trouble to establishing a beautiful tank!
Thanks in advance for any input
