+Dogfish Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I need to soak a large amount of dry rock. Anyone want to part with a very very large or multible containers for a month or so? I could purchase them if need be. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+reeflover Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I believed the club has big tub for premium member to loan but not sure if it is big enough to House all your rock. I would do 1 big tub just to making thing easier. I can loan you my 110 gallon tub which I was going to build water fountain in my back yard but doesnt look like I have time to do anytime soon and winter is just around the corner.

Lmk Great let me see if some one from the club has the loaner. I could use them both. Not sure how much 1200 lbs is in volume. Not going to use it all.

FarmerTy Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 You can use my 100 gallon tub too. FYI, there is no large ARC loaner tub, just smaller ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thats 2 tubs. If I need more I can buy some brute trash cans. If you both are around next week I can drive up there and pick them up. With any luck the dry rock will leech out in a week or 2. Then I can throw some heaters in there and start growing some good stuff on them. With luck I can have the tubs back to you guys in a month. If you need them sooner just let me know.

Hopefully my tubbing days are over! I'd run some lanthanum chloride in the tubs to help pull phosphates from the dry rock while I was at it. I forget what source the rocks came from but never hurts to start the tank without a possible phosphate issue. Then toss some bacteria in a bottle (Dr Tim's is great) and get that rock going quick.

I don’t think I’ll need it back till spring time, also have 2 32 gallon brute sitting too if you need it. I also have a lot of IO salt i use for my fish only tank I can sell you at very low price if you are interesting to cycle the rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 32gallon brute, heater, bubbler. When i shut down my 75 gal tank, i put all my rock in a trashcan w/ a circulation pump, bubbler, and a heater. 3yrs later when i setup my current tank, cycling of the new tank was like 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rock should ship today. Once I know its on its way I'll PM everyone to meet up. I want to cure about 600 lbs. That maybe too much for my tank. After I hack it up and drill holes, it might be just right. I'm not sure of the volume of Marco rock. I would like to cure the whole 1200 lbs if possible.
