KILLING LIVE ROCK

[Wingin It]

ya, roasting it in the oven at like 450F

Put it in a trash bag and trow it in the deep freeze for a few days. You can then recure it as soon as you like.

If you're not in a hurry...
just put it in a tub with som SW, an airstone and a heater and NO light for a month or three.

you can cycle the rock thisway while you kill the algae.

Does this guarantee the algae is gone? I know that Myka "cooked" her rocks this way for a long time because of a brutal Valonia problem and once she got her tank going again, back it came.

My nano has valonia and when I move, I plan to find some way to get rid of that stuff forever.
