Ok..so I'm cruising the lfs...which has SW no more.
They have one tank left and it holds some rock.Live rock was how it was mentioned (and caught my ear) so I went to check it out.
Its a 125g and they have about 40 lbs (I'd guess) of rock left...but nothing else.No fish no coral no nothing....just the rock...been that way for a while.
Can it still be live?Doesn't the bacteria need a ammonia souce?Can the live rock itself sort of self sustain?
Its giong for $3 a pound and I'll snatch it up if I feel like it really is "live".
What should I ask or watch for to decide?
