Recently, i had tank wipe out from velvet and gosh who knows what else was in there (nasty lfs). I have washed all the LR thoroughly with freshwater, soaked them overnight and air dry them. Been about three weeks now and gonna re- setup my tank. New fish is already in the quarantine. My concern is when i was hosing those rocks, a lot of worms, some alive, mostly dead came out. My question is I think they could be some dead ones still within those rocks, esp those big boulders. Hence, should i except high levels of ammonia after adding water due to any dead organism in the rock and if no ammonia is detectable after two weeks, should i assume there wont be any ammonia from the rock wise? (This is not cycling question using LR etc)
I just wanna know if dead/dry rock have die off or are they are as good as putting an artificial rock and not expecting any changes (nitrogen wise).
Also, is it safe to assume those rocks are disease free now from whatever i had?
