live rock......sitting in garage....

quick question...after my 55gal cracked....i had to take the semi-live rock out it was just sitting in buckets in my garage for about a week...not really submerged, just a little water at the bottom of the buckets....now im starting to fill up my new 75gal i shouldnt have any problem just using another 5-10lbs of good live rock to reseed the old stuff right?

It's probably gone sour on you and will need to re-cure. It's not a problem if kept in circulating saltwater or left so long it is completely dead (like months dry). A week half submerged in stale water would probably cause some die-off. It'll just kickstart the cycle on the new tank.
