looks like i left my live rock cooking to long ( year and a half) while prepping the tank room and tank. anyone have a couple pieces i could use to seed my now useless base rock?

you cooked all your rock? no active tanks up?

Your rock probably isn't useless. But if you really think that you can sell it me!

not useless, itll make great base rock and ive got about 4 months before i put anything in the tank so if i find someone close with a few pounds of cured it should have plenty of time to seed mine, in theory anyway. Argan my 55 is still active but all the rock in it has some form of sps attached to it. if need be ill probably just go to one of the kamloops shops but itd be nice to find something that is already mature

I'll trade you some rock for an SPS frag

how much do you want/need? with or without coralline?

not much ready to frag, but i do have a decent hydnophora frag i could trade

Next time you are in Kamloops, give me a call (250-320-0419) and i'll give you a football sized piece of mature rock. I Live out in rayliegh.

You can owe me a frag sometime in the future, like next year when my big tank is going. Sound good?

If you put a few cups of your current tank's sand in the bin with the cooking rock, and a raw shrimp you should be good to go.
