Live rock questions...

Humble_Reefer · Aug 15, 2020

I got about 100 pounds of live rock, mostly pukani, but I don't know about putting these two rocks in my tank. One has red stains on it, not sure if its bad, the other is a weird type of rock with little nodules/pebbles all "cemented" togehter. Does anybody know if these are safe?

Plan is to soak in bleach, rinse in prime + tap water, dry in sun, then soak in rodi for month before finally curing them in saltwater for a few months and replacing my current carib sea rock.

Thanks for the help.

Looks good to me. I would have no problem using that rock.

Thanks for the input. I've been looking for well over a year, and this guy sold me approx 100 lbs plus a 75 gallon with stand for $100. Going to sell the tank and see if I can make most of it back... Some people dont know what they have. Almost felt guilty.
