killing nasties on rock?
Hey all-
I have a lot of live rock with some unwanted nasties (vermatids and some aptasia)on it. I am in the process of breaking down my 150, and I want to clean all the rock,aquascape and start over. What is the best way to kill everything on this rock, clean it as much as possible, then cycle it? (plan on aquascaping then curing "in tank" thanks

I have heard of people baking it in the oven. Never tried it myself, but sounds like it would work. Probably going to smell terrible.
