I just bought some that has never been wet can i just put this in the sump or do I need to do something else to it before adding it to the tank? ------------- Brett and Kristine | Layton, UT | Brett's e-mail: [email protected] | Kristine's e-mail: [email protected] |

PUt it on the tank or sump nothing special to do maybe just rinse it with some water ------------- It's not about what you know but about who you know |

I agree. It's clean and sterile, just like LBTR that's been blasted clean.

Soak it in RO water for a week. I know it isn't recommended but like most artificial rock, it has silicates in it and it can cause a diatom bloom.
The piece I have now didn't cause any issues but the first piece I got did. |
