Good Morning:

I am a newbie who just purchased a used set-up from another hobbyist. He had stored about 75-lbs of live rock in a bucket with saltwater and an aerator for approximately 4-months. The storage area was in a garage and he did not have a heater in the bucket and no direct lighting.

Is this live rock still "live" and useful, or is it just 75-pounds of base rock or worse...garbage.

Thx.
Mark

I would not class it as live rock, in my opinion, as it has not been stored at the correct temp.

Thx. That was what I suspected. Just wanted to confirm.
