Actually I just bought some liverock from a fellow canreefer and I saw two remaining in the box after the rock went in the temporary tank. I have no idea how many more may be in the liverock hence the question. Do I go digging before I introduce the live rock into my main or don't worry about it. The two went into the sump for now.
