Stored Live Rock - To keep live or not to keep live

[gobytron]

Hey all.
After gradually shutting down my system I have around 300lbs of good quality LR.

It's currently sitting in a large container with a pump and heater.

The evaporation is rough...and I am having to add fresh water nearly daily.


I probably won't need this stuff again for at least a year.

Should I bother to keep it live and cook it or should I just dry it out and put it away till I'm ready for it?

I have the space, I'm just not really too into the maintenance.

Tips or tricks appreciated if you think i should keep it live.
