I'm hoping this cooking thing will do the trick...I didn't find that anything got rid of the stuff. The Lobophora seemed to be the biggest pain in the butt for me.

So this is two days ago:



I removed ALL the rock in this photo. It's all Caribsea Reef Rock...crap, if you ask me. I transfered all the "real" live rock that has been cooking for 7 weeks to the tank. I also plainted the back black, but it still needs another coat. My GSP is still mad (it takes a few days for this coral to come out when I pee him off real good lol). I think I may need to move my Lobo and my Duncan around to better places. I also still have to put powerheads back in, as there are none in there right now, so UBER polyp extension on the LPS! HAHA! This is how it looks about 5 minutes ago:

Out of curiosity, why the dislike for the caribsea reef rock?

It's heavy, not very porous, and ugly shapes. It is actually fossilized coral, not actual dead coral (like "real" live rock) if I remember correctly, so it is more like quarry rock than live rock.

Thanks! I was trying to have as few rocks touching the sand as possible. I got away with only 4 rocks in the sand!
