I saw a recent article from Reef Builders addressing this, and basically the conclusion was to just go all new clean rock and start fresh. I have a 40 gal established tank, and upgrading to 112 gallon. The only real issue with my existing rock is a huge amount vermetid snails. I hardly ever see them active with mucus strings, but the small 1/4" long x 1/16" diameter tubes are all over now.
Could I have select a handful of rocks and scrape off all the visual vermetid snails? Or is it not worth the risk? I wanted to at least put some of the rock in my new refugium to maybe help seed the tank.
I bought about 90 lbs of new Marco reef saver rock thats on its' way. I'm still a month or 2 away from having the new tank ready to get wet, but wondering if I should plan to say goodbye to my established rock.
