I have about 80 lbs of live rock just coated in aiptasia. If I put it in my brackish tank will it all just die after a week or so.

Found this on an older reefcentral thread


The Aiptasia was gone in the first day or two of being at 1.0085 or so.

As the salinity was going down, it started looking worse and worse.

You can't really even see anything left of it now. About 2 weeks in.”


My concern would be all the die off throwing a nutrient spike and potentially causing a cycle.
