Actually if you take all the rock and use it in your tank with new tank water as long as its the same temp and the same ph and salinity you shouldnt have a problem. Doug did it with his tank and no neg effects what soever. Hopefully Doug will chime in here to explain.
the bio load is in the rocks and shouldnt have any die off all the pods and creatures in the rocks is what makes the tank have life.. the bacteria is in the rocks remember I would may be bring back 50 gallons of water IMO that should work out good Like it was lready stated its like doing a huge water change.
