F#@!* Whats that smell..
Alright so long story short,
Come home today and the house seems to smell a little funky, couldn't pin point it until I went down to the basement. I have roughly 110lbs of live rock sitting in a big rubbermaid with heaters and powerheads.
Was hoping to use this liverock for a tank in the future so it was in storage for now and I had no problems with it being in the rubbermaid thus far. However when I went downstairs it just smelled like a sewer. I go check the rubbermaid and theres this yellowish mucus on the top of the water and covering some of the rocks near the top.
Take a quick glance at the temp probe and it reads 93.2F! Sometime from Monday-Tuesday one of the heaters malfunctioned and just cooked the rubbermaid.
So now I got to ask because I have no idea is my live rock pretty much done for?
I had 0 water at the moment but I'm currently mixing some to transfer the rocks over too asap. I also removed the mucus and gave the rocks that were covered a quick fw dip.
Hopefully it's salvageable or I guess i got 110lbs of base rock now..
