    I'm going to be removing the rock from my tank and replacing it. What do you do with live rock to get rid of it? Do I just let it dry out and throw it out in the yard, or put in the trash, what would you do?

    Thanks.

    I'm not going to be reusing it...and I don't think they would want it! It's covered in bubble algae and aiptasia.

    It's sell-able as base-rock once it's been good and dried out.

    Alright, thanks guys! I guess I'll dry it out, clean it all up and then I'll sell it :)

    It will be....about 80 pounds. Maybe more? I'm not really sure. The rock is from my 90 gallon.

    I have no idea for cost, whatever I can get! Hehe I really just want it GONE!
