    thanks all for your words, i ll do 50% now, and thanks for offering the water btowned, but I ll try my best with ro/di I have at home :p

    Hope they can live through, and also is it safe to dump the rocks in fresh water for that long? I have some corals on there like zoa and gsp

    dont put the rocks in fresh water, if you don't have the resources, just use a turkey baster to clean them. I saw your post 3 different times, on the local forum, you could have asked for someone local to borrow some water jugs. A lot of guys in the club are in SJ, so a lot of sources for RO/DI.
