Well, I did it
Not knowing how long it'll be until we have a Tang to eat the macro, I pulled the rock out and torched it

kinda satisfying - sizzle sizzle
I got most of the cloves and figured I may as well hit the mushroom algae too
Now that I know how easy it is I'll keep an eye on things in case I want to do it again
I'll watch for NH3 for a few days
