Yeah well the guy I'm buying it from lives 5 miles down the road from me and it he got it 3 weeks ago and I've been to his house for other stuff in those 3 weeks. Everytime I'm there I ask him if its ready lol but its been good for a week or so. I guess ill go get it and put it in a tub anyways and test the water anyways just to make sure its really all good. I've got about $250-$300 worth of live stock in my tank that I don't need dying just because of the rock. And id really be kicking myself if that happens and I could have just added base rock and avoided the entire situation
