Live Rock What to Do??

[saltyreef]

Hello, bought some live rock from a guy today, it is still in his aquarium. I don't have my tank set up as I am in the process of moving. What can i do to keep the rock alive and healthy without my tank for a week or so. Would mixing up some salt water in a rubbermaid with some power heads do the trick??? thanks guys, p.s. there is 100 lbs of it

A rubbermaid with salt water, a powerhead, and a heater should be just fine for a week. Ideally use a food grade rubbermaid container if you can. Cheers!

Yup - rubbermaid with powerhead and a heater. Probably a good idea to really try and blast it with the powerhead to get any crap off the rocks and maybe do one large water change in that week. Won't do anything but help your rock.

Will coralline do ok for a week without light? I might put some light on the rock if possible.

I just sold 300 lbs of rock that I had in a rubbermaid container without any light for about a week.

The coraline algae was fine.
