After some years starting again

Im setting up a 90 reef softie and fish. I like simple. When picked up the tank I got almost 300 pounds of live rock (dry). 2 pieces are very large. I was wondering if could lay the flat one on the bottom or should I put in the sump?

Hi and Welcome to R2R.

I would break them up to work into the scape.

As an alternative, if could serve as a large rock island for GSP or Xenia.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I would break that large piece and use it in your rock scape or sump.

Why is the rock green, have these rocks been used before, and then allowed to dry out? If so, you may want to cure them first before starting your new tank with them.

Good luck!

Break it up and epoxy the shelf pieces to the branch rock. Bonsai shelf style.

Breaking it into 2 or 3 pieces sounds like a good idea. The rock doesn't look green outside but has been washed recently. Thanks for the replies
