Default Keeping live rock
Hey guys, my buddy just shut down his 90g and gave me his live rock, we washed it down with fresh water and scrubbed off all the unwanted stuff.

I went to the store got a rubber maid container and store bought water fill the container with the live rock and water and have a pump in there pushing the water around. Is this ok I will not be setting up a tank for about 7 months or longer, I am still getting a strong smell of salt water tho when I open the lid, any help will do please.

Thanks

It will live in a wide variety of temps, but 76-82 should be fine. I personally like 78.
