I had read somewhere that a cold dig will help get the bristle worms to let go of the rock, and when I did it sure enough they started to come out, I dipped them in the cold water and would splash it around some and most would fall right off, I did pick some off as well. Once done this I would put the rocks into new tank water at room temp. If I noticed at that time any majona I would get under them with a semi sharp knife and they would let go fairly well after the cold water dip.
I'm not saying this is the end all be all for pest removal, I just wanted to decrease the numbers significantly and I think I accomplished that.
as for timing to switch stuff from the quarantine tank, I was thinking next week if my parameters are still good, was really curious about what you guys all thought because you have way more experience than me.
thanks again
