So I just took down my 65g tank with live rock that is about 5-6 years old. The rock is full of sponges and has some solid coralline. The bad things are, verminted snails, asternia stars and I have been fighting dinos off and on for awhile. Some rocks have other random critters that pop out at night that are harmless.
I have all new marco rock waiting downstairs that's been cooking since January. I would really like my new upgrade to not have all the pest mistakes i made over the first years in the hobby BUT... I know how much good live rock benifits a tank especially a new tank with incoming fish that are 4+ years old. Will the dinos bacteria come over on the rock?
I guess the real question is. Is it worth it?
