i have been out of reefing for about 5yrs. i had a brute can that i used for my ro/di system and when i tore down my old tank to sell it i kept all of my live rock and placed it in the brute can with a heater and air stone bubbler. i did not have a light in it and all the coraline died and the rock is beige or white now. when i pulled the rock out today there was a ton of sediment at the bottom of the brute can. the rock looks very clean. can i just rinse and dry the old rock then use it in the new tank? or do i need to bleach the rock? or do i acid dip the rock?
the tank i purchased has been up and running for 6yrs. i bought the whole set up ,tank, stand, water, rock, fish, sump lights, and ato system. I am keeping the sand bed in it and most of the live rock in it,but i would like to add some of the shelf rock and the tonga branch i had in my old tank. what is the best way to safely add my old rock to the new rock in my new tank?
thank you for any and all replies!!!
