Cooking rocks update


Okay I'm at one month and l think 6 dunk and swishes today.After the d/s the three buckets had a lot less dirt and detritus in the water almost 75 percent cleaner than the previos d/s that I posted pics of.I am going to cook for one more week and then the rocks will go back into the tank for stacking the aquascape and placement of my frags and soft corals.I figured these rocks wouldnt take as long to cook as the people who's rocks are covered in hair algee.They look very nice and are still covered in purple coraline as ell as sponges and some other hitchiker corals.

All I can say is those who trash talk cooking are nothin but *&@%$@'s.This is working just as I was told it would.

Ok no responce I guess I should have said it differently.

This question is for SeanT.

Do you think its possible that after this amount of time that the rocks can be done cooking since there wasnt any hair algee on them to begin with and they are not shedding crud as they did in the previous D/Swishes?They seem to be at the end of the cooking cycle to me.Rob
