![]() I had a sick coral and was battling high nitrates in my tank. So I pulled this rock out along with enough water to start a small tank to house just the coral to see if that was the source. It was the source. I was doing massive water changes to keep nitrates down. Now my tank has zero nitrates, the coral is gone, and I'm trying to save the rock.

![]() If the rock is loaded with garbage, phosphate etc throw it in an acid bath. It will clean the rock spic-n-span however you won't have live rock when your done. In some cases I can see doing an acid bath to have it 100% clean and then seed the rock fresh. You know then what your getting from the rock.
