Advice about some rock please ....

[NbMaxx13]

Hey everyone. I have about 50 lbs. of rock that has been in some bad spots. Some has had Aptasia , some has been in tanks w/ cyano , and a lot of it w/ green hair algae. My question is , what is the best way to get this rock tank ready again w/ out transfering any of the problems? Re-cure? bake? any opinions...?

You have a bunch of tanks, so put it in a tank with no light with a skimmer and do some waterchanges. Oh yea, Lots of flow. I Had been getting a problem with Aptasia in my SPS tank a few months ago and added some peppermint shrimp, about 5 of them. Sloooowly but surely they have almost all disappeared. Good luck. Take my advice with a grain of Salt. Michael R

I am with Michael, You can kill the algea and the aptaisa with time and critters. If you are in a big hurry then you can you can fresh water dip & srub it and kill alll life. I like the first myself. Just another grain of salt.

hook up that beckett skimmer and the algae will go away.

I am trying to get my tanks plumbed together and hopefully will get it this weekend and as it stands the plan is to get that skimmer working on my 3 tanks.
