How to keep live rock alive?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to saltwater and already have my first problem, I was buying a tank on craigslist and the deal went bad today and i have 20 lbs of uncured live rock to arrive at home tomorrow.

 

There is any way to keep it alive until wednesday when a tank i ordered will arrive? I dont have a filter or lights. Can i put one of my freshwater HOB just to circulate water in a bucket with the rocks until then?

 

Thanks.

Ya really just keep it wet and airated

 

Edit: Use salt water :happy:

bucket of saltwater and a little gas exchange/flow is all that's needed. If coral and macros are on the rock, throw a 100 watt incandescent or something over it if it'll be more than a few days without a tank.

What everyone has said so far. I usually just throw a heater in to keep the salt water up to temp around 78 and keep a powerhead towards the top so there can be air exchange. You definitely don't need anything fancy as I kept mine in a brute bin until I moved them into my tanks.
