    I have a bunch of live rock rubble in a brackish tank that I wanna now put in my nano. The problem being its overed in algae. Should I take them out bleech, boil, put them in a tub with no light, bake them in the sun?

    Soak the rock in a 50/50 bleach/water solution for a few days. Drain the container then refill it with fresh water and a box of baking soda for another few days. Let that soak for another few days then rinse and reuse :)
