Hi all,
I purchased 40lb of live rock yesterday from an established tank for my new 58gal reef. That's the only thing in the tank now, besides water, sand, and the critters that came along with the rocks. Am I correct in thinking that the initial cycle should be extremely short or non-existant, since the rock is already full of bacteria? I moved the rock in salt water and transport took about 1 hour.
If I get additional live or base rock soon (presumably from a store), should I cure it outside the tank, or just dump it in?
Thanks!
