Hi trying to help stepmom

[pitt420dude]

You could always get her a gift certificate to the LFS or get her a piece of equipment, a net, a mag float, some food.

Ok I won't get any live animals. But I do have a question, the live rock got here, now someone said it has to be cured. How do I do this?

Oh and if everything goes good she might get out Fri or Sat.

Good news about your step mom.

The rock should fit in a 5 gallon bucket. Put enough sw mix in the bucket to cover the rock. Read this article on curing LR. The article was meant for a much larger quantity but still applies to your situation.

I agree about not adding any livestock to the tank. But, you want to think about treating her to a refractomer and some calibration fluid.

Excellent news about your step mom!

Cmor, that is an excellent idea. Refractometer!!!!
Saltwater Aquarium Salinity & Specific Gravity Testing: Portable Refractometer
and the calibration fluid:
Aquarium Testing Solution: American Marine Inc. 53.0 mS Calibration/Reference Fluid
