Another very controversial move, I know... but here's the secret... I dumped all of it into that black bin and rinsed it extremely thoroughly with old saltwater, and then with new saltwater until the water ran mostly clear! I probably could have been more careful and planned to do this several days before the tank transfer to prevent Nitrate and Phosphate spikes, however I didn't have many sensitive corals and only a handful of fish, and I also made sure to do a 25% water change the next morning. I also added plenty of nitrifying bacteria courtesy of Brightwell Aquatics, and my rock had been dark cycling for a couple months at this point.</p><p></p><p>[ATTACH=full]2858546[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]2858544[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p></p>
