It can stay out for several hours. Just make sure it stays dampHow long can live rock stay out of water? I want to scape it and epoxy it
Any reef safe epoxy would work. I used fluval for mine.What’s the best epoxy for binding rock
You will still need to provide circulation and a heat source. May want to ghost feed along the way if sitting for a while.I’ll pick up live rock today and leave it in a bucket for a few weeks
Put it in immediately once you buy it just rinse it off. If you aquascape it bfore putting it in the tank, jut rinse it off or put it straight in afterwards, there's no need to cycle rock just to put it in a tank.thats a cute fish. Also how long would Caribsea Life rock take to cycle before I could put it in my tank

Now Im asking how long to cure and cycle caribsea life rockI’m confused as to what you are trying to do. You have rock in the tank you want to get rid of and replace with 100% dry rock?
I’d put it in a brute with a heater, pump and salt water. Put a piece of your current rock with it. Feed the brute daily with the same amount you feed your tank.recap. I have 20 pounds of marco rock.

I still think you should be patient and let it be. New rock will end up covered in algae anywayrecap. I have 20 pounds of marco rock.

@GHOSTLY - this is absolutely correct. Your new rock will be covered in algae and you won’t see the color for a long time.I still think you should be patient and let it be. New rock will end up covered in algae anyway
