in the next couple of months i will be upgrading from my 40 breeder to a 75, i got a deal i couldnt resist. In the 40, i have some aptasia, not out of control, but i still dont like them. I am also fighting bubble algae right now as well. I would love to not have these issues in the new tank. Since i know ahead of time would it be a good idea to cook a good portion of my rock, or would it make more problems upgrading to a bigger tank with less "live" rock. Also, how would it effect my current 40 to take out half or more of the rock?
here is some background on the rock. I got it from a friends tank that he had running for 5 years or so. He had a few fish in it and basicly just topped it off. it has been in my tank for a year and a half now. Just wondering if cooking it before the upgrade would be a good idea
