Skimmer for curing rock....

[NRA223]

Can I use this skimmer in a 40G rubbermaid brute to cure rock? Any opinions?

Does your tank have any livestock in it? If not just put it in your tank and let it cycle. Marrone is selling a remora at a very good price you should look at that.

I wouldn't waste my money on a weak skimmer to help remove die off from your live rock. IMO you should use the skimmer that you plan to run on a future tank (if you have one)

or

Run a phosban reactor on the bin, scrub and shake loose detritus off rocks, and perform BIG water changes.

I have nothing in my tank right now. I don't want to cure it in my tank due to odor. The tank will be set up in the living room, the odor may be a problem:smile: . I want to cure the rock in a RM brute in a spare bedroom.

Thats true, I can use the skimmer I'll be using for my tank. However, I won't have the skimmer until the 4th or 5th day of the curing process.

4-5 days will be fine, since the curing process could take weeks.
