    HI guys i am relatively new to the salt water world and i was just wondering if it is okay and or advised to mix and match different types of live rock. Right now i have about 15 pounds of base rock (the white coral rock stuff), another 15 in ultra premium Fiji, 7 pounds of Florida plant rock, and 10 pounds of Marshall island, Plus another 10 pounds of base rock and 20 pounds of Fiji on its way. Now after all the explaining my question is can i mix those three types of rock with out any problems and also what will happen if I do mix them and leave them together?

    Also is that enough live rock for a 55 gallon tank or do i need more?

    thanks and remember i am new to the saltwater world thanks.

    There is nothing wrong with mixing different rock as each rock has its own unique living organisms!
