Need Some Advice Pretty Quick :)

[AaronD]

Hi all

I need some quick advice.

Ive been offered a geat deal on upto 60kgs of fiji live rock for £5/kilo and is very close to me, so pick up is not a problem. Full of life and some of the rock has great coral on it

However this is the problem. The seller needs to get rid of them asap, and i have no place to put them for now as we have not finished the support to hold my tank, so tank is out of use..

So my question is, is there anyway i can hold these rocks till the weekend without causing them serious health issues. Ive got a small 15g tank and many buckets i could hold them in, will they be ok?

Hi Aaron

To keep the LR in good condition you will need to get it into Salted Water (Preferably RO), Heated & with a good flow, Lighting aint a must if you cant offer it

At 5.00 k/g you are getting a realy good deal

Is it possible to get some of the tank water as well



A large Container (Plastic Food Quality Bin) would do the trick

omg! great idea!! thanks for the quick reply!

yep i could get RO water and could get the salt mixed pretty quick. Hopefully i could get some tank water as well but cant garantee.

If i use the bin trick ive got the spare equipment to run it

great

Getting original tank water aint a must - as long as you heat & give the rock enought FLOW that is the important things

Good Luck

I should have the support for the tank sorted on saturday. Then ill add the rock and look after them for a while and buy the rest of the equipment
