My system is also 500g. That's why I didn't go the sterilizing route. I assume you also have cycled rocks and maybe a cleanup crew? On a small tank I absolutely agree that sterilizing is quick and easy and would recommended that approach. On 500g I think it's too much work. I took the fallow approach when I was in this situation. While waiting I set up quarantine tanks and was able to start acquiring livestock and began prophylactic treatments in qt tanks. To give yourself some peace of mind with the fallow method you could also hit the tank with a heavier CP dose as well.
