WTB Live Rock
 
Looking for 40 to 50 lbs of established rock at a fair price. Not interested in doing the cycling thing. Switching out my freshwater 45 to salt and have a bunch of livestock from my big display tank that will be going in right away.
PM me or email parkerm@shaw.ca

Thanks
Mike

Just so you know, there is no way to skip the cycling process. LR, which provides a seed colony of bacteria will speed up the cycle so it takes less time, but you should still be aware that the cycle still has to happen before you add anything

I've done this before with no cycle. I transfer the new live rock directly to buckets filled with salt water and then into my tank. Its only in the outside air for less then a minute.
The 45 will be filled with established water from my 250 and I already have the sand for the new tank in my sump. It's been in there for about a year. This way there won't be any die off from the new rock and therefor no cycle or ammonia spike.
The last time I did this it was with 90 lbs of rock and no problems.
As long as the new rock has been cycled already I'm assuming this should happen again.
Let me know if I'm missing something?

it may help to provide your definition of fair price so people will know what you are expecting to pay.

Thats sounds like when I bought my first car and the salesman said
"how much money you got" :biggrin:

Fair is what ever anyone wants to ask and that I agree on.

Heck, I've got over 350 lbs in my big tank and I think I paid an LFS around 6 bucks a pound so anything under that works for me.
