Thanks guys that helps a lot cause I figured I would need to buy new rock... I will probably start curing it tomorrow so when I buy the tanks I can have them ready.

I have two questions:

I have a 10 gallon laying around so I'll do the curing there but do I have to do water changes when curing the rock in a separate tank?


The two new tanks are going to be 5 gallons and 10 gallon maybe 20 long. Do I need filtration? I'll be running deep sand beds and live rock. If I do what can I use? HOB filters, etc?
