fifamickey, Yes, the rock can be placed in a brand new tank and probably won't cause a cycle if you get it home quick. The worst case would be a small cycle of a week or less. The only thing that concerns me is the travel time because there will be coral stubs still on the rock and some of them might die in transit with them being submerged in water. (Someone else on the board might be able to comment). But if your tank is empty, you won't have to worry much about that...a short cycle would be much better than curing your own rock.
30 lbs is gone already and Im hesitant to sell the rest until some corals can be removed. I sold the first 30lb for $4 a pound and I'll stick with that price esp if coral stubs are left on the rock. The rock is mostly Fiji from Premium Aquatics..and a couple of Marshall Island pieces. I will sell you the rock, I just need a week or two to get some corals cleaned off of it.
Gflat, I'll give a good sized piece for $15 and send it with Tim. I have no idea what it is?!?!
