Posted	live rock ?
17-11-2006 05:19 by Linda Chenapa	dose live rock need to be kept coverd with water when moveing it or will it die ? , how long can it be kept out of water before it dies ? , will it re grow or is it then no good ? .
17-11-2006 08:23 by wayne	no it doesnt it just needs to be kept a bit moist/wet , useually just in a black bag in a bucket will do, , if you are buying it from someones tank , make sure thier water quality is good as most people who are selling let thier water quality get bad which is absorbed into the rock and when you put it into your tank it will release all the badness
17-11-2006 08:25 by trik	if your moving the live rock its best kept in water, if its a car journey then this may be impractical, so the best thing is to cover it with moist papper and towels, you will get some die off but not to much it depends on the time of the journey.
17-11-2006 08:26 by trik	we posted that the same time lol
17-11-2006 09:55 by Alan	If relocating a tank best to keep it submerged in water. Otherwise you will suffer a slight die back depending on how moist the rock is kept and how long it is out of water. It will recover but will go through a minor re-curing which is not ideal when relocating a tank. When you buy cured rock though it is normally wrapped in plastic to keep it moist whilst you take it home. To ship it wet use old salt buckets half fill them with salt water from the tank and then place the rock in thereup to the water level and then put the lid on should its easy to relocate it submerged.

17-11-2006 20:51 by Cichlid Fury	I agree with Linda's grammer, shocking, possibly dyslexic Looks like Ed being back has bought Danny Boy out of retirement. Do you get excited when certain members re-appear?
17-11-2006 20:58 by Cichlid Fury	as for the live rock people who actually bother to test their water will know that simply keeping live rock moist doesnt help, if its out the water you need to get it back in ASAP
