Hi- So, I have 150 gallon tank that has been up for a few years now. I have been a slacker in the sense that I saw an aptasia in my tank a few months ago but didnt do anything about it. Well, needless to say there are a bunch in there now. Plus I also want to change up the some of the aquascape and frag out some stuff.
Anyway, I want to take out the rock that has a bunch of aptasia on it and I read that just RO water would kill the Aptasia but I tried it and didnt work so well. I know I can acid wash it or bleach it but not sure if I can just put the rock back in the tank or if I have to cycle it first. I wouldnt take all the rock out just a few pieces. I also have some I took out that I let dry in the sun and want to put that back in but again not sure about if I need to cycle it. I just want to get rid of the Aptasia and whatever else that shouldnt be in there while I am cleaning it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
