Live Rock from 2015

dingo2031 · Jul 28, 2018

So we moved back in 15' and I have had all my rock from my old tanks in a 40 gal bucket with water and a pump to cirulate, I know about the water I havent been able to test it but there is water still very little evaporated still about 30 gallons in it. Could I still just drop this rock in or would y'all dry it? I need that bucket back and the pump. Some input will be nice trying to get back into the swing of reef keeping.

If the water is wet and you see any kind of life on it, should still be good to go. Otherwise, if the water smells and has weird things floating, might put it through a curing process. I don't see any point of drying the rock out unless you have to bleach it.

Not really trying to bleach it. Im surprised its gone this long with that much water still due to evap. Imma go check on it tomorrow if it looks good then ill run it just hoping no hitch-hikers that are still alive w/o food
