live rock

I just started my first tank 3 days ago.I have a bio cube 29g with 35 lbs of uncured live rock and live sand. What types of life should i expect to see developing and when?Is it possible for coral to form natrually

you probly wont see any corals unless you have some killer lr and if it was shipped in water. i started seeing stuff a few weeks after puting lr in my tank. they will be tube worms(like featherdusters but really small),other worms,pods. it all depends on the lr.

Just wait a week or 2, then get a test subject. Organisms need to thrive on Fish Feces.

I tested mine with a clown fish, only a bit over a week when I cured my liverock and livestand. I still have that fat clown to this day. Getting too big...

You will be lucky if you get more than a few zoas showing up after a few months.
