i believe that. i bet stagnant water wouldn't even kill them.
i'd dry the rock out and then cook it while you remodel. good luck man. tony's tank will be the sole survivor of the classic slowBuild contest. |

What a shame, I'm so disappointed for you.
I hear you on several of the items. I went with almost all dried rock to begin with, with the sole intent being to avoid any of the usual pest hitch-hikers like aiptasia .. and in the end all I did was give myself an extra long tank cycling period, and lingering phosphate issues. (I had no idea how bad the PO4 would leach from this rock, 2 years in, and I'm still afraid to not have GFO on the tank.) And .. I have aiptasia anyhow. Came in on something, frags or the little bit of wet rock that I let go in. Oh and vermetid snails. God I hate those, maybe even worse than aiptasia. You can zap or inject aiptasias or introduce predators but freaking nothing works against the vermetids. And I'm not overly fond of my aquascaping either. Funny how this is a universal theme. Sometimes a tank reset is needed though .. good luck with the rebuild.

Good idea not to give up. Take your time while you rebuild for a product that you'll be happy with I'm the end.

I debated stealing pictures of your tank and claiming it as mine....

Glad to hear you're hanging in there. It can be real frustrating sometimes. As for burning down the house I bet the insurance people haven't heard that one before: "No, seriously, I was eradicating a pest from my aquarium. What do you mean I'm not covered for that?"
