live rock

i was just providing the info he asked for I am sure that he knows he can just keep it in a pail of saltwater indefinitely. this also has it's down side as if there ia no circulation or heater you will have die off also. then the need for cycling the rock becomes an issue. Before they started shipping with wet newspaper on the rock the die off was substantial now a days it is minimal and a lot of times the cycle time is short for newly imported rock.
We now see a lot more hitch kickers than we did in the 1990's because they now ship with newspaper.
Any LFS that has been around for a while can attest to this.
