I am not Sean, but I beleave the temp was 212, boiling. For the top ten miscocenptions list I submit
1. BB tanks are unstable
2. Rock cooking kills everything
3. You can get a desise from cooking your rock

4. BB tanks are ugly
5. You can only solve nitrate "problems" in BB tanks through massive water changes

When I "cook" the temp can range from the 50's to the 90's.
But I am not concerned with any die-off as I generally "cook" some skanky rock.
If you want to perserve as much life as possible then keep it as close to reef tank temps as you can.

I didn't know if it was a joke or not, thought I would hedge my bets and answer...I have to be "responsible" now.  |
