Question about orderin LR...

[JTrigger]

Hi all,

I'm ordering LR for the first time... from J&L... and I was just wondering... since I've never done this before... can the rock stay in the container it's shipped in for more than 24 hrs or once you get it is it absolutely crucial to toss it into the tank? I have no idea what's in the container to keep the rock well maintained so I was just wondering... basically because I'm buying a tank a couple of days after I move to Vancouver, but I wanted to preorder some LR from J&L... but wanted to make sure the tank was there...
