| Re: adding live rock Adding cured live rock to your tank is a plus only if you bring it home from the lfs in tubs of water.After that time becomes extremely critical.You have choices of from 2 days to a week,maye more.I would suggest getting your live rock from a cross dock operation where you actually go to the airport and pick the rock up to avoid a two day trip via ups. |

| Re: adding live rock well its a local person who is breaking down their tank and have it at a great price. so it would go from him to me so i was woundering if there would be adverse effects when adding it to a nonestablished tank. |

| Re: adding live rock so putting into a new set up will not hurt it at all, as long as its still in salt water |
