Getting desparate and am considering using the carbonated water method on ALL the rock in the 120g
Have seen several crabs over the past few nights, one of which I would like to transfer to another tank to eat algae. Have yet to find the source of the clicking as it moves to different locations in the tank.
Anyway, I have a few questions about using carbonated water before I attempt this massive undertaking:
- If I soak individual rocks in a pail of carbonated water and remove the animals that come out and place them right away in SW, will these animals survive?
- After a 2-4 minute saok, how much of the live stuff on my rock will still be alive, such as macroalgae, coraline algae, bacteria? Will I be killing the rock by soaking it in carbonated water?
- Some of my rock has mushrooms and star polyps on it. Will the carbonated water kill them?
- What else should I know about the effects that carbonated water will have on my rock and animals?
Thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions, similar experiences
