so I am setting up a 220 gallon tank. I will be transferring 120lbs of live rock from my current system. I also purchased about 450lbs if used live rock. 300lbs a guy had from a tank he broke down and he had it in two large barrels keeping it live. The other 150lbs I guy dry from a tank he broke down over a year ago. My question is should I let all of the rock dry out and add it to my 220 with my 120 lbs? Should I dry it and then cycle it with a piece from my system in each barrel? Should I soak it in fresh water then do either of the above? I don’t want the cycle to happen if it doesn’t have to or at least in the tank. Thank in advance.
