don't brush rocks here either no scraping they're great. keep the periphyton layers. use jetting or hard swishing or a powerhead submerged, aimed right at rocks, hand moved around have all safety lines up like gfci connections etc disclaimer. detritus is dislodged in the directed aimed current and the other reef attachments think that's a walk in the park. anything that turns loose was destined for the detritus pile anyway. only by water currenting is ideal cleaning. can be that actual holding water and tank for a bit
then a sub rinse in water before setting back in. 100% fact: if you had to blast a sec on freshwater as the last step before setting on clean sand, in hundreds of gallons of water/the horror
zero bad things will happen.
you've three hundred gallons of salt dilution, you have wiggle room a mile wide. brief freshwater blasting harms your live rock no moreso than it harms a common clownfish in hypo treatment. not ideal but not lethal for the intervals we use.
so what you're saying is I should invent a rip cleaning app that facetimes then retire and live in the caymans. ok gotcha. because when they say do something you love
