Live rock vinegar bath

[carlos esparza]

So I am in the process of restarting my tank, 135 Gal of on home ocean [emoji3] [emoji4] [emoji5]. So I pulled all my live rock out, put it in my 35gal brute with 4 gal of vinegar, and topped off with water. I will allow it to soak for 3-4 days. I will rinse with water and then place in the brute with RO water, for 2 days, then rinse again, and then cycle in the brute with Saltwater. How can I reseed this rock. Instead of cycling in the brute, can I just put it back in the tank to reseed? Thanks for the help....

You could have a lot of die off that would require large water changes during the curing process. I'd be inclined to cure in the brute to save on water. keep testing no3 and po4.

So do I need to put a good piece of rock in the brute with it? How long do I leave it in the brute for while its Curing?

I wouldn't put any good rock in there until you have no no3 and po4. cure times will vary.
