Hello all. My name is Tim and I am new to the forums.
I recently purchased a 55 gal tank and have my fair share of knowledge about the cycling process and so on. I do, however, have one question that has been brought up from my last venture with a 20 gal tank that failed.
My question is: Live rock.
I was wondering if I will have to cure live rock if I pick it up down the road from the pet store. It is about 5 miles away, I could put it in a rubbermaid container and bring it to my house. Would I need to cure this live rock or simply put it in the tank and let the tank cycle.
While the tank is cycling, with the live rock, will I need to scrub the rock at all or do a water change?
I have heard both to do and to not do a water change while the cycling process is going on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
