Live Rock While Changing Equipment

[RMAS0934]

Hey All,

I was wondering if it was ok to leave live rock (used dry live rock and live sand) in a tank (75 gal) that is not running for a couple days while I am waiting for some new equipment to come in? Will the lack of water running/filtering for a few days affect the sand or rock at all? There is no fish/livestock in the tank yet...Thanks!

keep water and a powerhead in there for flow. the bacteria and organics as well as microfauna will die off creating a big big stinky mess.
