In my case, I'm getting BRS Pukani rock which is dry live rock from the ocean that comes loaded with all sorts of dead, encrusted creatures on it - which will cause phosphates to go thru the roof in my tank if I don't do something to it before I use it.
Should I use the method in the video for this type of rock too ? In this case, I think I do actually want to remove all of that dead, encrusted stuff from the rock - right ?
So should I use acid in this case to quickly "clean" this rock ? And will it take 6-8 weeks to do this ? I was hoping to have my tank set up to start cycling in about 2 weeks.
