dead rock question?

Remmers · 05/22/2018, 02:07 PM

awhile back I bought a tank and it came with live rock and it had some soft corals on it.

Well I put it in a tank with s/w and left it. Well things came up and I didn’t use it.

Now that I’m cycling a system can that rock be added?

It was always wet but the water did get very cold as it was in the garage.

sure...not a problem...

I'd just give it a good spray down with the garden hose first just to dislodge any "stuff" then chuck it right in.

That will definitely jump start the cycle.
