I will be putting my fish and corals in the QT until I can get all the aiptaisa and bubble algae off my rocks.....and then have it re-cycle.
Now,
I have had the bio wheels from the QT in the sump for about 2 months now. I also have had about 30# of base rock in the sump for 3 months......I wonder if I use water from the DT, the base rock out of the sump, and the bio wheels, if I would have enough bacteria to not cause a spike in the QT??
How long do I keep the rock in the sun for???
Do I have to scrub the rock before I put it back in the DT for curing?
The aiptaisa is also in the sand bed, so I will have to drain the water out of the DT to make sure that it will NOT come back. I know I can get 95% of the water out, but how long can the aiptaisa live just being moist?
