Planning on cooking a few pieces of aiptasia infested LR. First time doing this (and hopefully last).
Just wondering...is a heater really necessary? I'd prefer not to use one.
And....in other's experiences, with the die off, does it stink to high heaven? Wondering if I should do it outside.

Thanx much,
