Storing live rock! ASAP
I just was given a sweet deal on 100lbs of live rock. Heres my dilema, My tank is not going to be ready for another month, this needs to be picked up on the 17th of May, should I get it and store it in a rubbermaid until Im ready for it? I have a greenhouse that I could keep it in would that be enough light for it? So what else would I need? Just saltwater a powerhead and a heater? Do you all think I should wait or get it now and store it?

Re: Storing live rock! ASAP
I would say it depends on the dilemma with it. If there's a possibility that it might sell or someone else can get it then I would definitely go ahead and get it but if its fine where its at there is no need to rush since it will be there when you come back. Will save you alot of time and stress.

Depends on what kind of a deal you got IMO.

It will be fine in a tub with a powerhead and heater. Just set it up in water and do water changes once in a while.

Re: Storing live rock! ASAP
Well I can get most of what I need for 2.50 a pound the rest for 4.00bucks from exstablished tanks with tons of coraline. Both people are buy it or it goes to the LFS in a week. Will the natural sunlight in the green house be enough not to lose a ton of coraline? Or should I keep some strip lights overtop(thats all I have to use in a pinch!)
