All the rubble you ever wanted for free

[Wildisme]

Still more there. I took 3 buckets. But can't reach any more. And the way the garbage is stacked there's no way I could climb in and reach lower so.

If u can find a way. Go grab it

 

[Joe5688]

[catalano]

I'm not really sure. Maybe 150 pounds but half was dead corals so I need to go through it tomorrow

 

[Joe5688]

yeah i took all the good pieces

i did see a lot of solid rock and dead coral. I got most of the porus rock that was in there.

 

[catalano]

Yea even if its not the greatest its still good for a sump or frag rocks once it passes the copper test

So far found whatView attachment 7042View attachment 7043View attachment 7044 looks like a sally light foot, black brittle star maybe? And a big like 6-8" bristle worm and 2 of those little star fish things and maybe an apistasia. I can't believe this all survived outside for over a day

That would be a very smart move. Also remember, that ich and other things can be transferred via live rock. Do your due diligence, fellas.

 

[Joe5688]

I put a couple pieces of rubble in my qt. I'll let u know if anything comes up.

No I haven't tested anything. I'm not using it until I set up a bigger tank and I need to buy a copper test when I do plan I using it.

If there are worms, crabs, and stuff still living there is no need for a copper test. You might still have Ich and stuff but just leave it fallow for 12 weeks. Whatever you do, do not boil or pour hot water on that rock.

If you have bought coral from a shop in Chicago land, In the last three years..... Your tank has been exposed to this rock. For those of you that don't know. Reef Depot is a coral wholesaler. This rock was in a 1400 gal. Coral system. There was no copper in the building much less their tanks. There were established fish in the system for years. I never saw any problems. Flatties, red bugs, nudies. Probley because of the voluminous amounts of wild caught coral moving through their systems. An extended fresh water bath would take care of any future problems.

That's what my rock is now. 100lbs sitting in a keg tub filled with rodi water

Just stopped by there, couldn't see anything in the dark. Plus couldn't lift anything over 50lbs due to my shoulder surgery still healing up. Did pick a giant piece of egg crate. Going to wash it off and scrub it down before doing anything with it. Theres a ton of 2x4's and pvc pipe. What is the door right by it that has a Marines sticker on it?
