    Today my Biocube was delivered with a crack in it. It will take at least another week before they can get another one to me. The problem is that I have 35lbs of live rock being delivered tomorrow and no tank to put it in. What do I do? I don't want to damage the live rock by not having the Biocube to put it in.

    I would have to agree with Telgar, you don't want to lose any live rock and the money you have invested to get them.

    go to lowes or home depot and find a plastic storage container large enough to hold the rock. Hopefully you have salt mix. Mix salt water and fill tote enough to cover rock, get a power head to circulate the water, place the rock inside the tote making sure the water covers it completely, turn on the power head and wait for your new tank to arrive. Make sure you check your water level and keep the rock covered with water.

    Thanks telstar! This has been a nightmare. This is the second biocube I have ordered that has been delivered damaged. I would get something else but already have the stand that goes with it.
