Default Re: Live Rock Cleaning Questions?!

you dont want to kill everything off the live rock as in boiling it. If you want to reuse it as live rock you can get some rubbermaid tubs and an airstone fill it with salt water and just let them sit with the lid on it. That will kill any plant life but keep the beneficial things alive. Air stone very important. Also do water changes on that water after a week or two as stuff dies off it will get pretty nasty.
If your gonna redo the tank soon then just pull the rock, and put it in a tub and swoosh it around knocking most of the debris junk off (carcasses and igger dead chunks) then set it back in the tank and precycle it. Nothing wrong with using what is on the rock to help the cycle along.
Good Luck

Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?
