Live Rock

[ericholcek]

Just ordered Florida Aquacultured Liverock. I have read about all the good and bad criiters that seem to hop on for the ride. How do I get rid of the bad ones and still keep the good ones? Any ideas? Thanks for your Help...

Do a hypersaline condition on it. Put the rock in water of 1.040 salanity for a few minutes and watch all the critters jump of. Then put them in normal salanity water and pick out the good ones. I'm not sure how many would actually survive after the salanity shocks.

I would just cure it.
for the 5% chance of "bad" thing being on the rock, i would not kill off all the 95% good-stuff.
thats only MO
