    Wow, that got heated! Anyone recommend a place to get good quality dead rock, base rock? I have two other tanks to get the coralline from. I just don't want to chance starting a new tank with tag along parasites and menacing worms.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    Nah....it's far too hot outside to get heated in here :)

    Do a Google search for "Reefer Rocks." They sell dead base rock on-line for a good price.

    Why not make your own? You most likely have all the supplies you need at stores close to you. Plus it is very nice to have a rock that fits perfectly "over there" , or "over here".

    I don't know if making rock sculptures is my cup of tea. I'm handier with car stereos and making cancer treating drugs, than making rocks. I will check with the people you (amcarrig) recommended on Monday. Or I could order some cheap Fiji rock and cure in trash cans for a few months. Hopefully starve out the parasites (ick, worms, apitasha (sp),and ect.). Got lucky with the first two tanks might not get so lucky with the third tank.
