Question on preserving live rock
Hi All,
This is sad to say but my tank crashed a few weeks ago and I don’t have the time or money for that matter to put everything back together... with that I was curious what I would need to do to dry and save my live rock for the future if I want to start up a tank again. The tank and stand are an easy clean and put in attic but the rock I just have no clue how to go about saving in if it’s even possible. Thank you, Tom |

Or You can keep it alive by simple keeping a rubbermaid with some salt water (enough to submerge the rock) with a pump and a heater Again you'll only wanna do the second option depending on what caused your crash. Hope this helps and sorry about your loss. I just lost 75% of my fish to a velvet outbreak last month so I know how much it blows. Sent from my SM-N960W using Tapatalk |

Thanks for your help and sorry for your lose. I had my tank going for 5 years and about a month ago I added a fish. I don’t have a quarantine tank and when I got him I knew something was up but because the tank was so good I didn’t go with my gut and about 1.5 weeks later the fish came down with icy and took out my whole tank minus my wrasse and inverts. I am not planning on adding anything and watching the wrasse and see how things go for a few weeks but if the wrasse dies I think I’ll be taking the tank down donating the urchin, snails, crabs etc. drying the rock and storing the tank and rock in my attic u til the rug hits again. |
