sounds like a good way to waist money. if you want dead rock buy dead rock a lot cheeper.
the critters inside are what makes it live rock. yes if you have a problem then you can remove one chunk and treat it after you find where the evil monster is living. as for scrubbing sponges off the rock some one should slap the guy who wrote that, they are a very benificial filter. I do agree with getting rid of algae though.. but there are other ways to do that which won't give you a final result of dead rock. Steve

I got to agree with Stir but there are clearly two ways to go. To each their own.
I prefer the natural way. I want the live rock to be teeming with tonnes of varied life. I can deal with the pests if they happen. One peppermint shrimp will soon munch down any aptaisia plague and I am not going to worry about a few here and there. If hair algae becomes a problem I will borrow a sea hare for two weeks and the hair algae plague is gone. I believe the more life there is in the rock and sand the more natural food there is for the fish and coral that thrive on it.
