I am looking to clean a large pourous piece of live rock and wanted to know the safest way to do so, the rock is about 10 pounds and i only have 30 lbs total of live rock. Im worried if cleaning it would cause a cycle because of how its 1/3 of my live rock. (30 gallon tank). the reason why i need to clean it is because i lost a peppermint shrimp a while ago. totally disapeared. but i had just purched a condi, i figured the condi ate the peppermint, because the shrimp was messing with the tips of his tenticals alot. well now i have very high phoshate problems and i really think that the shrimp died in the rock causing my high phosphates. also i cannot see through the rock, it is very pourouse and has alot of tight squeezes.(my shrimp would molt then go hide somewhere in the rock and then reapear.) and getting rid of it is the very last option to me, it is a very good rock and looks interesting, like a pyramid..
i really dont know anything about cleaning live rock or starting cycles so any help what so ever is much appreciated.
