I have a closed loop on my 120 gallon tank. An Ampmaster 3000 is the pump being used, and it runs through a Motorized Ball Valve. The timer on this...

Hi Chris! Sorry, I should have been more clear. You can blast the rocks with a turkey baster by forcing water into the crevices and over the rock....
LOL, Craig - do you agree that it is just my opinion, or that uncured live rock should be cured outside a tank with a DSB?
I used uncured live rock in my set-up (170#s in a 120gallon). The smell really wasn't that bad to those of us that smelled it everyday. I'm not sure...
