Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - New Live Rock into new tank

Hey I am getting TBS Rock this afternoon.
It is going right into my tank.
I know some talk about squirting seltzer water in the holes and crevises of the rock which will make the gorilla crabs and Mantis shrimp come out but I figure I will just hunt them with my trust spear.

I know TBS rock is pulled fresh from the ocean but I believe their website say they hold the rock in tanks for a month before they ship them. This allows for the minimal die off from sea to boat to holding tank
