Killing of life rock

[ronnieloong]

Hi Bro, can anyone help me how to kill a life rock and bring it to life again.

Currently my rock have been decom from my tank due to unwanted creatures inside the rock. Carefully inspected the rock and brushing with tooth brush with tap water and catches some of the Bristol worm, crab, mantis shrimp out of it.

Believe that there is still some inside that cannot be seen and I have soak the rock in hot tap water. Still smell bad.

Any idea what I can do before putting it to my another new tank ?

thanks advance for the comment.

Regards...

Quicker way is to use dead rock, which some of claim that there is no leeching of phosphate into the water.

How about put your fishes into the tank first and continue to cycle your live rock in a pail?
