Hey just wondering if anyone has ever tried to use live rock in freshwater. I fully understand that in saltwater live rock consists of far more than anaerobic bacteria, but would keeping some form of rock in freshwater create anaerobic bacteria that converted nitrate to nitrogen? I've always wondered and am considering finding some texas holey rock to put in my convict breeding tank to test it out. I'm assuming someone on MFK has tried this though, and I just can't find the thread.
Just want to clarify before I have people repeatedly telling me I can't use saltwater rock in freshwater. I'm discussing keeping any porous rock/material in a freshwater tank for the purpose of cultivating anaerobic bacteria to lower nitrates.
