Did I Buy Uncured Rock?

[Beverly]

[quote="robbyville"]Still, always better safe than sorry, keep it in the water for a couple of days, check for smell, and the usual suspects, and plunk that sucker in!

Besides, depending on the size of the tank and the inhabitants of course, a 7 pound of ALMOST cured rock might not make a huge difference.[quote]

Hi Rob,

Actually, some of the rock is going into our 14 gal seahorse tank, so I want it good and cured.

Did the smell test and it doesn't smell like sewage, so maybe it's good and cured. Was at the lfs where I bought it today, and they say they've had that rock shipment in the tank for about a month and should be cured by now. I'm tending to agree.

Am going to wait as long as I can hold off, but I'm pretty antsy to rearrange the horse tank. But will test the water and do the smellarooni test again before "plunking that sucker in"

Actually found a 4" worm of some sort on the biggest of the new LR, though not a bristleworm, and took it off the rock. Just as I dropped it into the 42 gal, our hawkfish grabbed it in mid-water! I'm thinking I don't know what this worm is, so how does the hawkfish know? He gobbled it right down. What a fish Watched him all last night and this morning and, man, he must know his worms cuz he's still alive and kickin'

Thanks, all, for the feedback
