Risk advice:
Health warning - please do no clean rocks in a sink if you have palytoxin producing corals - this could contaminate the sink and lead to major illness - the use of the sink was just for demonstration purposes

Overly hard cleaning your live rock could cause significant bacterial die off. Nitrofiying bacteria species like nitrosomonas which is one of the most abundant species in marine aquarium actually adhere to the surface and form a mucas web to allow replication to occur. Hard scrubbing will destroy this Web. Please leave the live rocks inside the tank if at all possible - maybe after the first two sessions of treatment
