Adding live rock to eastablished tank

[Balix]

A local guy I know is trying to get rid of the live rock in his sump. I'm pretty sure his tank is pest free since I've bought corals from him before.

 

I wanna get rid of my base rock and add in a chunk of live rock from his sump. My tank is just about a year old. The tank is currently half base rock and half reel reef rock.

 

It's a 20 minute drive between his place and mine. Should I run it in a bucket with a powerhead and a heater for 2 weeks or good to add straight to the tank?

Since it seems to be cured, I would just transport in water submerged and add to the tank since it should be safe and there shouldnt be any die off. You could keep it in a bucket with powerhead and heater and "cure" it again and play it uber safe.

Transport in water, dump in your tank. you should be fine.

^ +1 if you're concerned, you can always dose a little seachem prime into your tank in case of ammonia.

If it's only 20mins you could get away with insulated foam box and wet newspaper
