  2. upgrading and cooking rock

    in the next couple of months i will be upgrading from my 40 breeder to a 75, i got a deal i couldnt resist. In the 40, i have some aptasia, not out of control, but i still dont like them. I am also fighting bubble algae right now as well. I would love to not have these issues in the new tank. Since i know ahead of time would it be a good idea to cook a good portion of my rock, or would it make more problems upgrading to a bigger tank with less "live" rock. Also, how would it effect my ...

  5. Losing corals - ugh

    Over the past few days, I've lost a few corals. One was a chalice that was being consumed with brown jelly disease. I took it out, shook it off in a bucket of tank water, then dipped it in ReVive for 15 minutes. Thereafter, it was put back in the tank, with the hope that the coral would recover. Within two days, the jelly returned and ate away the rest of it. Grrr.

    A couple of other less-than healthy acros went up in smoke as well. Just RTN'd. I expected to see something in ...
