    Went to Cozumel for a few days did some diving while there found some beautiful rock. Can I just put it in my aquarium or do I need to do something to it? Its about 50#'s

    WOWSERS!!!! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!!! YOU CAN AND WILL GO TO JAIL!!!! IF YOU ARE LUCKY IT WILL BE AN AMERICAN JAIL AS OPPOSED TO A MEXICAN JAIL!!!

    This is NOT one of those do and apologize later situations at all.

    If you have a tank already running, you need to fully cure it in a separate tub until there's no Ammonia.

    Not positive but am pretty sure it is illegal to take things out of the ocean from reefs. Dead shells and coral fragments from a beach is one thing 50lbs of liverock on a reef is another

    WOW! That's all I can say! How were you even able to bring that on the boat? Dove there a couple years back (Palancar) and they were very ademant about not even touching the reef! Amazing...

    Im starting to hear that alot now. And my wife even asked the guy is it ok if we some rocks. At first he joked with her and said yea they will be $25 each then he came back and said im kidding you can get as many as you can carry. My wife and I were kind of worried going back thru customs but they scanned the bag and let us go. Now that im back home im hearing lots of people saying that was a BIG no no. It wasn't my first time traveling there but it was my first time taking the rocks
