transferring live rocks

[Dragonlady]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone can give me tips or suggestions. I'm buying live rocks from a member of canreef. He lives 9 hours away from Calgary. As per this person, he will individually wrap rocks with wet newspaper. Is this recommendable? Can anyone give me suggestions please.

from what i was told as long as rock stays damp its no problem . i would try get a old cooler with a lid to move rock in

not if your adding it right away to an established system ,your gonna have to cycle the rock in a seperate container, it wont take long as the dieoff isnt gonna be huge but there will be some none the less:) you would be better off bringing the rocks home in a rubbermaid with a lid,a heater and a powerhead:) even then you cant add a massive amount at once but maybe some smaller pieces.if its for a new set up then add away and let the cycle roll:) cheers
