    ive decided that tomorrow after work im going to scrub my LR from GHA one by one since the inverts arent eating it.

    A few questions i plan to use some tank water put it in a bucket and scrub it.

    During the transportation from tank to bucket will i have a large amount of die off, and when i put the LR back in what are the chances that it will cause a large parmeter swing?

    The only way you will have any problems is if the rock starts drying out. You should have no worse than a small parameter change.

    ok thanks i dont think it would dry out unless it only takes it like 2 secondds of drying out, i had to scrub my rocks once back when it was pretty new and didnt seem to hurt anything but now that its older i wasnt to sure if it would stirr stuff up, thankfully the GHA is mainly ont he top rocks so i wont have to remove the bottom, just getting tired of my inverts not eating it
