Mike,

I guess it's a matter of perspective.

The rock I got was straight from the GBR, was collected in the morning and in my tank by that afternoon. It still had a some 'travelling' time but was certainly not dried out, in fact it smelled quite nice :-)

Since then, because of a latter tank crash and again because of a house move, the rock has been dried, cleaned and reused a few times. Each time reseeded with just a piece or 2 of live rock, with good results.

In fact I am going through this process right now and intend to post some pics of the tanks progress here next week. :-)

John
