No la…just joking :lol:

Keep the LR in total darkness with good circulation, swish and dunk the rocks twice a week, with constant water changes for 6-8weeks

The purpose is to let the bacteria consume as much as organic material stored in/on the LR

Anything that need photosynthesis will die off… for my case, bryopsis (hair algae)

My priority now is to elimilate the hair algae :evil: kekeee

Don't worry, bacteria don’t need light to survive ... coralline algae can be re-seed back later in the main tank later

As I mention before, because of the anemone, mine is just 'semi cook' only…better than nothing :ph34r:

I did the cooking for my rocks too. For almost 2 months although I intended it to be 6 weeks...But due to delay in replacement of tank, no choice. I must say that after cooking the problem of algae on the rocks is greatly reduced.

U want to try covering yr tank and only one area of yr cookng tank open to light. Have the light source there and something for the anemone to attach on. It may leave its original rock and move over to that area with light.

why reefing so shiong one :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

my mother always tell me "rest is sweet followed work well done" so yar lar, this is the bonding process where you put your heart, sweat, soul, blood into the aquarium and you become part of it. hahahahahhaha!

hey use tangs to eat algae. i think its very much more fun that way. SF tang will eat green hairy algae, bristletooths to eat microalgae. natural balance!
