Free live rock. Lombard

As some of you may know I re-did my 58.
http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...readid=1233581

I have about 50 lbs (( give or take )) of bubble algae covered live rock. Most ( if not all ) of the live rock has some type of coral on it -- mushrooms, GSP and purple digi. Pretty good coralline coverage too. The rocks are currently in rubber maid bins with a powerhead and heater. (( as seen in the pictures in the other thread ))

The sooner the pick up the better. Unless some one is willing to get all of it, I would prefer not to hold it. So, it is pretty much first come first serve.

I live in Lombard ( near 355 and 88 ), evenings are best, but can run home from work during the day if needed.

Thanks.

As of right now the rock is spoken for.
Thanks for all the interest.

If it falls through I will post and go to the next person, I will go by time stamp on either the PMs or this thread.

Thanks.

Will this live rock infect my entire tank and fill it with bubble algae?

It did to mine, hence the reason for the re-do.

Part I think part of the issue I had getting rid of it is because I neglected my RO membrane, and my TDS was very high.

So that people know where they stand,

Natemorris -- said would get tonight, waiting for reply.

I am going off the time stamps of PMs, Emails and this thread. (( which ever one I got first ))
Consideration will be given to whomever could get it soonest if anyone falls through.

Thanks again.

And for those who did express interest, I will remember you when I have frags of the purple digi -- grows like a weed in my tanks.

I had a bubble Algae outbreak as well. I actually baought a piece of rock with it on... (at the time I thought it was cool). Now... its almost gone... Emerald crab and careful picking of the bubbles have done the trick along with coraline all over the LR.

Steverino, it all got picked up last night. Sorry, I can check the sump of my other tank to see if I have any small pieces.

Hebygb, I think my major issue with it is that I let it get out of control, neglected that tank for a bit when I screwed up my knee and then my back. Lost some SPS during that time too, so I know the water was all out of whack.
