    LR question- Look!

    from what i have heard, if you dont know the source of the rock (was the tank established and doing good, etc.) then i would cure it. if its from an established tank and u dont intend on curing it, try to keep it from freezing on your trip as this will help preserve anything inside it and on it...

    Use concrete to make rocks in tank??

    acclimate a freshwater fish?
