Live Rock

[reefrobert]

After pulling my lr out of my aquarium and puting it in the sun for a day to dry off from the fresh water bath I gave it, then placing it in a 5 gal bucket with a lid on it and storing it for 2 months, because I had to move, it still good.

You dont have to cure it because it is not live rock anymore. You killed everything off. Just put it in the tank and go.

Ok, i killed every thing, but i need the bacteria on the rock for a filter.
Phosphate .2
Calcium 300

you might have some future problems from this. the die-off may leach into the system for a period of time.
the bacteria will grow back.
