DIY Live Rock Questioin

[nolen502]

So i had a guy make me some of this diy rock which is a totally new thing for me. He soaked it for a few days before i got it and said if i soaked it for a few more days it would be good to go. Well when i first started the Ph was sky high and salinity of the water was 1.004. i changed the water everyday because i was only curing 10 lbs. I cheked it earlier ph was 7.8 and salinity was 1.000. Is it safe to put into my tank now????

Hard to say if your not changing the water and the ph isn't spiking any more you are prolly good to go... There is actually a acid you can add to help kick it but I forgot what it was called... A friend of mine Mattshack made a 1000gal plywood tank with all diy rock and it was months before the ph started to settle and even then he added a acid and it made it hold stable once and for all...
