Thanks Guy. It was helpful to read your responses. I did reach out to them.

Have anyone brought some Tampa Bay Saltwater live rock and sand recently? I was wondering how light the rocks are and if there is a lot of life in the live sand? When is the bets time to buy?

Please give your zip code. I would like to see if I can see the torch in person. Thanks.

Howdy folks. I am looking for small sponges that come on live rocks. Does any one have some?

Yes. That is right.

You may want to consider IPSF.

Congrats! I can't wait to check the store out and buy some corals.

Would you be willing to sell us some of these?

I would like to get some from you, if you ever get a colony going. I like these type of small critters.

There is a repository on the reef 2 reef site. I don;t think know of one on this site.

With such a heavy bioload, you may want to consider adding some sulfur prills in a mesh bag to help get rid of nitrite and nitrate. It would be a BADESS: Bioilogical Autotrophic Denitrification using Elemental Sulfur System, a Sulphur Based Nitrogen Management System. More can be read on it...

I second tindercad.com.

I do not use socks. I just vacuum my sump every once in a while.

Start at 8 hrs/day until your screen mature. The first few weeks will be mostly slime. Scrape it off until you have hair or other algae. Once you have hair or other algae that is when you want to cut or pull off the algae. At this stage you can increased the light period of the scrubber.

I have a 60 gal dt and a 20 gal sump. I think only 15 gal of the sump is used.
