Hi All, this is about 150# (I think) of base rock that I have for sale or possible trade on a skimmer (prefer ASM).

I just did an acid wash (muriatic), followed by double power wash and soak, so this should be good to go with nothing bad at all. Was going to reuse then changed my mind on my plan.

This would be for pickup in Stapleton. There are lots of branching type pieces in the bottom of the tank pictured (100G stock tank). PM me an offer. Thanks for looking.

Evan my friend...you inspired me...heh heh... For kicks, here's a post of the muriatic acid bath aftermath...in 100G stock tank, ~40G water, 5G acid (I fried 'em), the morning after starting them (bath lasted all night). I had been cooking this rock and for a long time, but gave up and thought it best to start over...

Only bad news in the process was that the gunk on my house's siding wouldn't come off after a power wash and scrub, yikes. Good think this is in the back dog run area...

There is some really good stuff in there...looks like pieces from all over the world. Best offer takes it.

No. There was a low ammonia odor after a few days, so I added a little bleach. There must have been something in there that held on until the end of the burnoff (wow).

Craig, I responded to your PM, sorry I thought I was in the thread.

I don't see why you couldn't store it dry, probably would be good to go for a while. I was going to dry it out for the buyer, but I've been crazy busy at work, and probably won't get to drying it before the weekend, but someone could just dry it after buying.

There is a wide range of sizes (small branch/brain skeletons to big totoka/tukani/tonga type pieces), but probably not many larger shelf type pieces. I haven't had much live rock experience. I wish I could better explain what's in there. I found a picture I took when I had it in the display tank I just hold.
