Live rock

[corey.nolta]

So I have a 20L full of live rock just sitting in my basement. I have a heater and a light above the tank (also growing a little chaeto). This tank was used to house my carpet nem prior to the rock. All the rock is extra as I do not need it. I've put it up for sale and no one is interested. So my question is, do I keep it in the tank and keep doing water changes and keeping an eye on tank parameters, or just take it out and dry it all out?
Thanks!!

Maybe your lfs will take it in trade.

All I have is petco, and they don't do trade ins. At least not here.

Oh yea deff not petco.. I mean if your not using it I would save on the water changes and salt and just dry it out... You can always make it live again.

There's nothing to making it live again, other than just time right?

Anything to seed it a small peice of live rock or a benifically bacteria. Most folks now a days only use dry rock to start with based on price but mostly pest free!

Yeah in mine I used dry to cycle then added 25 lbs of cured live manado
