    Rock

    AO frequently has Real Reef, I believe it is dry. Trop carries dry lace rock, and has a pretty large selection of live rock.

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    We had a similar problem with a green pistol; he was tiny when we adopted him, but when he grew up he was tagging our fish. He eventually got our helfrichi :( good luck getting yours out!

    coral slowly dying (or not thriving)

    George raised very good points. I would add, check your salinity with a refractometer if possible, and check the expiration dates on your test kits. Mike and me went through a horrible coral die off that sounds a lot like yours due to an improperly calibrated refractometer last fall- it took...

    How's everyone making out (roll call)

    If you are looking to get rid of the pests, I would kill the rock before cooking it. "cooking" rock, to most of us, means removing it from our tanks (or bringing it home from a store), putting it in a large, dark container with a power head, salt water (and potentially a heater), and letting...

    Transfering tanks

    You can also start a pod culture. Take a package of artipods, and put in a 1l container with 2 cups of water from your tank. Put it on a windowsill. Do not air ate. Add a small amount of food. Every 3-4 days, top it off, and harvest pods. I use a baster to top off and harvest the pods. Don't...

    Transfering tanks

    Red bugs feed on acropora only. They may walk or be blown from one part of the tank to another, and be "on" another coral, but they cannot feed on it and absent acropora, will die. I would do a long fallow period if you choose to move livestock or rock into the new tank before adding any...

    Temporary holding tank - good or bad

    I would get that ammonia badge and do at least bi-weekly water changes, at a minimum. If you know you have too many fish in there, then you know you have stressed fish. Stressed fish + poor water quality = sick fish. Another option might be to go buy a 100g+ Rubbermaid (or tank) and...
