Aiptasia has slowly spread onto all of my rock, & and it also has a lot of little bubble algae bubbles happily growing in the nooks and crannies. My manual removal has failed, so I am pulling all the rock out and bleaching / acid dipping it to eliminate those pests.
I pulled out some several months ago, then Tues I removed about 2/3 of what remained (a 5g bucket chock full). I did not mess with the sand bed or the fuge. Added back in some nice fresh white dry rock.
It is a very lightly stocked 75g w/ fuge in sump. 2x clowns, 2x gobies, 1x royal gramma, various snails. I don't anticipate getting a cycle.
How long should I wait to let the dry rock become live before pulling the remaining established / pest infested rock?
