    I've got two 44g Brute cans about half full of live rock, I've been keeping it at 70F and circulating for a few months (since end of January)

    Half of it comes from the Grove & Platt tank, there was just too much rock in that tank. Most pieces are pretty average density/size and a few are really solid and heavy so I will probably price these based on a combination of weight and density

    The other half is from my personal tank from when I tore it down and put the fish in the G&P tank, it is all the marcorock type of shape, but it's really old, like 10 years old. It did have some GHA on it but that's long gone now after being in a dark barrel for 3 months.

    I'll post some pics and come up with prices here soon but this will be first come first served, it's all at my shop in Grimes which I have to vacate ASAP.

    I also have a bunch of dry rock which I will also list in this post

    Outside of this I have a bunch of supplies that I will be listing separate. All have to go, I'm purging ti all out.

    Bump

    I still have most of the wet rock, still in circulating water. I've got about half of the original amount of dry rock.

    I'm getting to the point where I think I'm just going to nuke all of it with muriatic acid and let it dry out - both the wet/live rock and the older dry rock.

    Kinda surprised that no one wants any of this...not even getting offers.

    Just getting back into setting up a reef tank, you happen to have any of this rock left you are looking to get rid of?

    Bump

    Still have a bunch of dry rock (latest photo of that is what I still have)

    Still have the majority of the Grove & Platt wet rock

    At some point here soon I am just going to pull all the wet rock out of the water and let it dry out

    Last chance as getting some juicy wonderfully cured mature rock before I dump out the water and let it dry out next week

    Most of this is still available. I don't recall which pieces. Last chance at this in a while, my surgery is 12/12 and if these don't sell before I don't know what I'm going to do with them. Still sitting in a Brute with a few pumps staying alive

    Literally someone take them and preferably pay me some cash it would really help right now seriously
