Sump LR question

[cwickham]

i have a quick question about the LR in my sump.

Its covered in aptasia, i was wondering if i just take out of my tank for a month or so, completely kill my LR, will it be dangerous to put it back into my sump after that?

thanks

Do you plan on taking the rock out to just kill the Aiptasia?

Aiptasia are actually very effective at harvesting nutrients, they make excellent mechanical filters

I read recently read the "Book of Coral Propagation" by Anthony Calfo and there is an article about using Aiptasia just for this purpose.

I would probably just leave them in the sump.

Maybe if you are real paranoid about them spreading in the display add a UV Sterilizer on the return line, I would think that would limit their spread only to the sump
