Odd question maybe

[Dez]

Thanks for your help guys. I'm actually going to marine aquaria right away where Lando works. I am noticing there is some sponge on my cooked live rock. If the sponge has been living/growing for 4 1/2 years in the dark, technically it's cured rock right? I just don't want to do any injustice to any livestock if I start adding livestock. I'm not in a huge rush, I mean, I've waited this long, another month or 2 isn't going to hurt. But it's always the family members that want to have an "instant" tank. My wife doesn't want to wait for frags to grow, my kids want fish NOW. But I'm patient. I will see how it goes. I'd like to tear down my nano right away, but I don't want to kill the emerald crab in there and the snails if I just add them into the tank right away. I guess I'll just go slow.

Thanks for the suggestions.
