I was on a website a while back and i saw how they said that it is important to "blast" your live rock with powerheads every once in a while because it blows off all of that brownish silt/dust that accumulates. My tank has reached the 6 and a half month mark and today i decided to aim my powerhead onto a few pieces of my liverock and holy crud!! my tank filled up with dust/silt within minutes. I guess its good in a way because now i know most of that crud will be gone... Was this a good idea or something you shouldnt really do??? I've heard that it has something to do with nitrifying bacteria and the production of "die off" i guess??? Has anyone ever heard of this or done it before??????
