Quick question....
How long can you store live rock in a rubbermaid tub with heater and powerhead?
I've had an offer for some LR and our tank isn't quite ready yet.

As long as you want, just keep an eye on water param's and do a partial water change every now and then...

Awesome. I've had an offer for some live rock and I'm still a little way from needing it.
I guess when you get down to it, it's just like having it in a tank...

Another question... Does it need to be "fed"?

ETA:
How do I transport it?
