Yeah the rock was going into a brand new tank so i planning on any
amount of
re-curing could be done there, but i just didnt expect to
have to let it re-cure
for as long as it's gonna have to now that there
was so much die off. i am
definitely going to try one of the online
stores recommended on this site.
thanks for the info on Foster and
Smith.
