Yah I saw that thread, I didn't want to post there to avoid high jacking the thread. In my case I am not sure if I need to cook it or not.

I am trying to figure out if any die off due to the much lower lighting is going to have any immediate, harmful effects on my system or if it will be a much slower, drawn out process. Making the effects virtually undetectable.

If you already have hair and bubble algae in your aquarium I wouldn't worry about it. If your tank is clean I wouldn't let it anywhere near your tank. Cook that rock!

I love that super clean rock look you only see in aquariums with cooked rock. My next tank switch I'm going to cook all my rock.

Well that is my dilema, my main tank is spotless, however I only put 2 little pieces of the new rock in there. Both had zero algae on them, aside from a nice thick layer of coraline.

The stuff with very little hair and almost no bubble is all in my fuge where I want to promote algae growth.

The only sucker with any red hair is all alone in my sump, in the dark 24/7.
