A Simple Live Rock Question

[NewFish3]

I bought 1 pound of small Live Rock rubble to replace the bio balls in my BioCube. The LFS rapped them news paper then added some water to keep them wet. I didn't want to change everything out tonight, will it be ok to let the rocks sit overnight & I will do the change tomorrow. Or do I need to do it tonight

Thanks :lol:

keep them moist, and warm, but not hot, out of the sun

What size tank?
If you do leave out i would put in a container with some flow. Just put in your tank and place it latter.

Its probably fine overnight, but you may get less die off if you do it tonight. If it were me, I would do it tonight.

beer---that motivates me to do reef work

I would add it tonight--its going to prevent a possible ammonia spike and a water change--so look at it that way:beer:

capn,

I have a BioCube 14. Do you think it will be ok to take out the stock filter in that right chamber ( Iam scrapping it in this change any ) and put the rubble rock in that chamber for the until tomorrow. Then put some filter floss over the top grate where the bio balls are.

That should be ok for the night................Right

Thanks for the help
