i RECENTLY PURCHASED 65LBS OF LIVE ROCK ONLINE AND IT HAS ALOT OF DEAD STUFF AND BLACK PATCHES. I PICKED OFF ALL OF THE DEAD MATTER AND LOOSE DEBRIS AND SCRUBBED THE ROCK IN A BUCKET OF SALTWATER. THE ROCK IS NOW SITTING IN A LARGE TUB OF SALTWATER AND THERE IS A POWER HEAD AND SMALL FILTER IN THE TUB. AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? HOW LONG SHOULD IT STAY IN THE TUB BEFORE I INTRODUCE IT TO MY TANK? MOST OF THE BLACK PATCHES ARE GOING AWAY NOW AND THE ROCK DOES NOT SMELL SO BAD ANYMORE. MY TANK IS 75 GAL AND HAS 60LBS OF LIVE SAND, A FLUVAL 404 FILTER, PROTIEN SKIMMER, 2 POWER SWEEPS. i ALSO FORGOT TO ADD THAT MY MAIN TANK HAS BEEN UP AND RUNNING SINCE FRIDY AND I ADDED STRESS ZYME TO THE TANK AND ROCK WATER.
if you have just set up your main tank put the live rock in now and let the tank do it cycle
