I have 200+ lbs. of live rock in a container with saltwater. It's been over a year that the rock has been sitting in the container, and I was wondering if it would make a difference keeping it in water vs letting it dry out over night. I am starting to aqua scape this weekend and have heard its easier to work with dry rock. If I did dry out the rock, would the bacteria still be in/on the rock? The water has not had much done to it, so salinity is probably high along with trates and phates. What would you guys recomend, let it dry out or keep it in water to help preserve the bacteria? Thanks
