I'm using all dry marco rock for the new display anyways, and I want these nice pieces in the main display. So this Byropsis crap has to be completely erradicated.

So here is the question: BOIL OR BLEACH???

Couldn't you just dry it out? Would that take to long?

If you just dry it out, it will come back for sure. The spores and roots will still be attached

So the byropsis on the 60 to 70 pounds of rock that has been dry for 2 month would come back if I put it into a tank? I was planning on maybe using it later on another tank in the future having the byropsis come up again would suck.
