Okay, so here it goes.. I'm starting a new build and had purchased some live rock off of another member when they were breaking down there tank. The rock was in an established tank for over a year when it was broken down and at first glance seemed fine. Since I've had the live rock it has been in a Rubbermaid container with 2 powerheads and a heater, just waiting for my tank to arrive. I ordered my tank 2 weeks ago and the first one came cracked so I'm awaiting the delivery of the new, new one. Well anyway here's my issue.. while I was taking a look at the rock the other day I noticed a few aptasia!!! But unfortunately the more I look the more I see. It seems that there are at least a few on each piece of rock and I'm sure plenty that I dont see. So the question is, should I set up the tank with the rock and try to eradicate it afterwards or just nuke the rock and start from scratch??? Just looking for some of your opinions and advice. Thanks in advance for your assistance!!
