All new Pukani, that you told me you would not go with. It was well cycled and a large amount of gfo used during and after.

Can you start removing it bit by bit and replace with real rock?

I suppose I could do that. Would have to order it as none around here at a reasonable price. Lots of fragging to do also, as many of my corals are well encrusted already.

Nothing used? Stuff from old tank? Coming to Victoria any time soon? I have about 100 pounds I'm disposing of.

Never in 30 plus yrs. of saltwater and 25 reefing, have I seen an algae plague such as this. Besides the carpet, there is fast growing longer algae, stringy and attaching to corals. Not like anything I seen before.

Lost several coals already and moved many to my 30g to save them. Dont seem to bother the clams or chalice.

High end equipment sale coming up.

I think you can easily salvage what you have for less money than you'll lose selling off the used gear. Order a box of rock. Swap it out. It'll be fun

yup, good chance to start over, box of rock, let it mature, then slowly add a coral here and a coral there.

I always wonder about upgrading tanks myself. we get a bunch of new rock and then we move the old tank to the new one overnight and nothing is matured... not sure if it is a issue but I wonder how many problems are caused this way.
