Pros/Cons of Wet Reef Rock
You can still purchase wet reef rock. There are companies in the USA that “cure” reef rock in the ocean for several months.
I was always nervous of wet reef rock, because of the pests and hitchikers.
My thinking has changed. I believe now that the benefits of wet reef rock outweigh the cons.
