live rock help

[duke3699]

I have a question about live rock. I am setting up a new tank but it won't be ready for another 3 - 4 weeks, waiting for some parts. I have a chance to get some fiji live rock this weekend. I was wondering how long could i store it in a tub with a heater, couple of maxijets and a skimmer running?

Try to get as much of their LR water as possible, preferable enough to fill your tub. That way the LR won't experience die off, like it will with freshly made saltwater.

You should be able to keep it as long as you keep the water up. Make sure to treat it like a tank and do your top offs and check water levels.
