curing rock help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK well let me tell you all the elments to my story. I live in Maine its like 20 at night 30 during the day and my friend is selling me like 50lbs of live rock from his tank that he gave up on. I has all the gross gunk like huge and small aptasia and coralline eating starfish.. If i take it out of his tank and put it in a garbage bag place it outside . how long should i leave it out there to kill everything.. OK lets says its inside too? .. After it drys out i was going to put it in a rubbermaid conatiner for a couple of weeks with a powerhead to swish all the dead stuff off......any comments and suggerstions welcome.

Since most of the critters you are looking to dispose of don't take too well to cold, I would guess one night to completely freeze the rock. I would spread it out some, maybe a few small bags to help get the cold air to the center of the rock.
When you make sure the rock is nice and frozen you should be able to proceed with normal curing procedures.

I would not do that but thats your choice. Put the rocks in buckets/rubber maids and kill of the aptasia with kalk or joes juice. as for the star fish are you sure they are the bad type? if so then get a pair of hulqiune shrimp they will pick them of one by one
Hope this helps Michael
