so guys i plan to use Murinic Acid on rock i got from a fellow reefer and if is a pretty good amount of rock....maybe letting it soak in it twice to make sure any po4 is gone....the rock is dead and pretty clean and white so it should work rather fast maybe soaking it over night...changing that water out and doing it for one more night? then soak it again in pure ro/di water and then let it sit in salt water for a month to cycle? i dont care for it to have coraline on it so after it cycles i can place it in the tank? though the thing here is that my 55g already have 4 fish....soon to be 5 and a good amount of coraline covered LR which is covered pretty well in hair algae so i wanted to switch it out with the new rock i let sit and cycle.....is it a good idea if after it cycled to switch it all out at once for how? also the rock i take out of my display i want to use so should i just use acid on it also? i dont see the point in cooking it like normal and wasting saltwater as im on a ghetto budget lol i thought maybe after i took that rock out to do acid on it like i did with the other rock but after that is done i wouldnt have to cycle it and can just place it in the tank and have the rock already there seed it......does all this sound ok? oh and i have a rock oor two in there that dont have much hair on them so would it be ok to just leave those alone or use acid on those just to make sure no po4 spreads from them? thanks people
