Can turkey basting rocks INCREASE GHA?

I understand that turkey basting live rock is good regular maintenance. BUT IF you were to neglect doing this for a long period of time, then blasted A LOT of detritus off of them. Could this introduce so many nutrients back into the water column that would cause GHA to grow much faster than normal?

 

I would still think it would help by getting it into the water column so it has more of a chance to be picked up by your filtration and cuc.Leaving it in the rocks would just help keep feeding the algae.

 

I wouldn't think so. The detritus on the rocks is still going to be leaching nutrients into the WC anyways. Stirring it up would like Grinder said, give it a better chance of having the Filtration or the CUC finding it.

 

Thanks for replies guys. I do not disagree with your answers, I feel that I'm to new to that. lol
Here's a little background. I recently cleaned up some detritus in my sump. After that my GHA seemed to be dying.
Then I thought about blasting the rocks. After I did the GHA seemed to really take off again.
So now for the last couple of weeks I've been cleaning them a few times a week. I've been manually removing it, and I bumped up my GFO use.
I'm just trying to put a finger on what caused the resurgence?

 

The detritus breaks down into disolved organics (aka-nitrates and phosphates and just plain organic waste aka-algae food) yes it would feed the algea either way,but basting your rockwork gives you a chance to get alot of that out with your skimmer,filter, and right before a water change BEFORE it breaks down into algae food.Bacteria and cuc will take care of the rest in a balanced tank.

 

Thanks again for your help. What you said makes sense to me now.
I'll keep up the maintenance and see if this helps. Wish me luck lol

 

No prob,and good luck.GHA isn't a hard fix,just takes a little effort and patience to get you water cleaner.
