Moving

Who better than the experts!!!

I am moving tomorrow and I was wondering how long can my live rock be exposed to air before I run into problems.

Is this possible or does it need to be under water during the whole move?

I appreciate the help.

Keep it under water, especially if there are any sponges.

The problem is the amount of rock. 200 + LBS. Do you think I can put it in trash cans and when I get to the new house (30 minutes away) cover it with water?

If you can move it that quickly, I would think covering it with some wet towels, rags or newspaper will probably be sufficent. I have never moved a tank, however and can only relate what I've read in othr threads. Hopefully others will chime in.

Well,

The move was a success and my LFS took my fish in in order for al levels to be OK before putting them back into the tank.

thanks for all the help.

Glad to hear all went well.
