So I picked up some live rock on offerup yesterday. The guy had it in a sealed plastic container with water in it from his established tank that was broken down about a month prior (post was up for a month). Question is do I treat this rock as brand new and completely wash it and cycle it all over again? Or is there a "softer" way to clean the rock (assuming it has unwanted pests/bacteria) and save the "cycled" rock to use in my tank sooner?
I have a 60gal with 45lbs of rock that has been running for about 8 months, few fish, coral, invertebrates, just wanted to add about 20lbs of more rock. Thanks.
