Dry rock

[Bledoux]

After a tank crash a few years ago I stored all my equipment and rock. Thinking of starting the tank back but was wondering if the rock would bring back all the pest I had on it

How long has the tank been dry for?

If it's been out of the water for a long time, nothing can possibly have survived on it.

 

[death-by-reef]

probably not

Fairly certain everything is dead I would give them a good cleaning before reusing

Safe to assume that everything that was once living on that rock is now dead.

What’s a tank crash? I’m new to saltwater aquarium and reefing.

I would bleach the rocks to get any dirt and bugs off

It when something goes terribly wrong and kills all or most of the inhabitants. Can be caused by numerous things, chemical issues, failed heater etc.

Everything is most likely dead but I would probably bleach soak them in to be safe. If nothing else it will clean some of the crud off.
