Oh no! My LR got dried out

[kjordan]

While I was getting my salinity in check and water temperature to 78, my supposedly cured live rock was in a styrofoam container without water for about 4 hours. The rocks were dry when I put them in the water. Will they still be good?

 

[hgbarwick]

the rock should be. LR can go a while without water. Did it still have coraline on it?

Thanks, I was worried that I spent all that money for nothing.

I am sure the out side was dry but the inside was still saturated with water.There was probably some die off but will come back. How long has it been curing?

 

[kjordan]

I was told by the LFS that it was fully cured, Tonga rock

 

[Nano_reeflover]

its fine

It's no longer fully cured but it'll be fine. Expect a cycle ......

My lfs lets the rock sit dry for about a week, and its good quality stuff, not to mention that it sits on a plane from tonga, or fiji and then in a warehouse waiting to get through customs, lol. Four hours is nothing, your fine
