Dry rock???

[WhoDat?]

I have about 50 lbs of dry rock.. I plan on starting a 10 gallon reef.... I will use mostly this dry rock seeded with some live rock... I will use all established water... Is there anything I need to know about using dry rock.... Can I just rinse it real good and put it in??

You'll have to give it time to cycle most likely. If it was once live there still might be trapped organics. Just add it in, seed it, and give it time to cure before you add any livestock.

DONT USE THE WATER. its wast water it contans no life at all only bactria. but no use cann use the rock, the most live rock you use the fater the cycal, if you use only one pound of live the cycal might tank a month and a half or even up to two months

but again dont use "established water" its WAST warter full of impureitys
