Have a couple of questions:

Can I take all the rocks out at the same time? If I do, what will happen to the bioload of all my fish waste. Do I need to leave a couple of LR in the tank? Even if doing this process taking the LR out in 1/3rd , every two weeks... so taking all the rocks out in 6 weeks time. Having the tank void of any LR for 4-6 weeks. I was wondering have you experienced since you have gone thru this process. Has anyone taken out all ther LR at the same time to cook. Could you by chance elaborate on this phase.

Thanks in advance for your thread. It gives me hope
I took out all my LR at once.
All you need to do is skim wet, do small but frequent
water changes and siphon detritus, make sure your
cleanup crew is good (astreas and ceriths) and dont
over feed.
Do this and you will be fine.
