Tank Cleanup


Ok I wanna spring clean my tank. Would there be a problem if I remove all my coral, live rock into a SW filled container, clean my major algae issue and scrub the algae off my LR?

and

How long can I leave it all out for without flow etc

How long? I don't know,.... but be as quick as you can. Basically your talking about doing a tank swap without changing tanks, I would go about it the same way.

I've done it,... I would be more confortable scrubbing 1/2 at a time though. If you do make sure you scrub it in Salt water.
