So I will be moving out of an apartment and into a house soon and will be able to upgrade my 29 to something a bit bigger. My tank is 6 years old and rather infested with vermetid snails and micro brittle stars. I know they aren't the end of the world but I am pretty sick of them. As I am still trying to decide what tank to upgrade to and where it will work best in the new house I was thinking that I could take the time to cook my rocks. My plan is to frag and sell off a decent amount of my corals to help pay for the upgrade. I will then put the remaining corals and fish into a temporary tank while I put the majority of the rocks into a tote and black it out with a pump and maybe a skimmer. My hope is that I can starve out a majority of the pests I don't want while still keeping the rock.
How long do you think I would need to cook the rocks to accomplish my goal? Would one month be good or would I need to do two, which may be the case depending on when the tank I pick will arrive. Does this plan seem like it would work to get my rocks and tank back to a basically fresh start? Or is just going to be a waste of time in the end.
Thanks!
