The Tang Herder
So, I'm going to need to pull all kinds of kenya weed and teal palys out of my tank. I didnt know that they would reach plague proportions when I added them to my tank. My plan is to take out each and every rock in my 180 (I know, craziness)
My question is this, I'm planning on saving water from my water change today, but I dont think I'll be able to keep every rock in water. I have something like 200 pounds of rock in my tank and this effort is going to take me several hours (how can it not)
How long can established live rock be out of water before I have to worry about losing the bacteria and/or kicking off a mini cycle when it goes back in to the tank?
Is there anything else I'm not considering for this tank 'tear down'?
