I did once remove 500 lbs of rock and scrub it clean.We made 500g of new
saltwater. And the results were excellent. I can no way compare the two
since I haven't seen the condition of the tank in mention. But it is not
impossible.
BTW it took us 4 days to make the water with 2 RODI's and a full 10hr day to
scrub and replace ,2 guys.
