So I have had a piece of LR in a rubbermaid tub with some others for the last 2 months, I have been trying to "cook" it of all life as I was not able to get 2 crabs out of it no matter what I tried. Last week a fellow reefer asked why I hadn't just taken it out of water and let it dry out? (thanks whatcaneyedo) So ya after feeling silly for not thinking of that, I took it out of the water and its been out of water for a week. What im trying to figure out is how long should I leave it to "dry out" to ensure the crabs or anything in there is dryed out, then should I put it in a tub of its own incase of a cycle? or would the 2 months of cooking have already starved most all the bacteria in the rock anyways and just rinse it off and add directly to the display tank??? Opinions?
