LR for sale

[Clarkii3]

I have 12lbs of LR for sale. I'm looking to buy higher quality rock elsewhere. If someone needs some for their fuge/sump or w.e. Be aware that this rock had a grape caulpera issue. It is mostly gone now. There are quite a few aiptasia as well.. I just don't have the time to deal with irradiating this right now. Let me know if you are interested.

if your staying in the hobby why not sun dry it, then it will reseed with the new rock

Yep - just kill it ( dry it out in the sun for 1 week ) and then re-seed with one piece of live rock in a tub with a pump and if possible a skimmer and use the water that you would normally throw out from your live tank when you do a water change - it will be "live" again and without the pests in no time.

I didn't even think of this. So i basically just set it outside on the porch on newspaper or something? Should i soak the rock in a mixture of vinegar and water as well? I'm not sure if using my old tank water would be a good idea, wouldn't the algae spores left in the water regrow in the rock?

Yes- just put it outside in the sun. Then you could make sure all undesirables are dead and use vinegar in the tub first for a day or 2. Then - in tub with flow and no light the old tank water will provide some nutrients to create "live rock" and the algae would not regrow well = no light and minimal nutrients.
