    I am about to take down a tank and put up a new one. But the existing tank has some bryopsis in it. Would it be best for me to take out all the lr and do a bleach soak/muriatic acid or just the rocks with the pieces on them? I really do not want to transfer this pest to my new tank so all help will be appreciate!
