So I took a gamble and started a new SW tank about 5 months ago, I think the dry rock I started with looks great now, was seeded with live sand, live rock and bacteria bottles. Lots of coralline growing, no pests, no bad algae.
Unfortunately I'm moving now and realistically I don't see myself starting up again for probably 5 years.
So keeping the rock alive I don't see myself doing.
My question would be, should I just bleach it all and store away until ready to use. Or should I pull it out, store it in a bucket as is and let it die and when I come to use it again all that good stuff that died will help prevent bad algae growing? Almost like that purple rock companies sell, or will it just stink at that point?
Thanks
