I have about 40 lbs of live rock in my tank, plus another 40lbs or so that I'm keeping circulated and semi heated in tubs. My tank has been pretty much dark for almost 2 years while dealing with sick family members and such, and now I just want to take everything down for awhile.
Is it stupid to dry out the rock for storage? It would be heart breaking since I've been spending watts on it to keep some of it simply heated and circulated for a long time, but I need the space back and I'm not into it right now. Unless someone wants it all, I really don't have the time to sell bits and pieces. Although, I do have a tek light to get rid of. If I get back into it, I'm going to do something different with lighting.
Just trying to figure out how to shut down. When I started, I bought rock from a couple of folks and I'm aware it's a piece by piece thing, so unless I can send it all away, I may have to dry it out.
