My tank is 7 months old.....started it with dead rock I bought off a guy 6 years ago due to its shape. Gave it a muriatic acid bath and stored it.......used it on this tank. I have dumped numerous IPSF packages in this tank and the rock isn't doing much.........barely and coralline, taking on a dark color and I can't keep an SPS alive. Had a bout of dinos that is now gone. Total BS, I hate dry rock (or at least the stuff I have) so i'm looking to swap it out.
I have 125#+ of KP Aquatics rock in some holding tanks without fish so they QT and I'm targeting a full rock swap come November 1. I have some questions if you all have time to comment:
1 - Keep the sand? is it possible, what problems would I have? Do I need to swap it out?
2- With Live Rock going in, can i do this all in the same day?
3- Anyone do this previously, have advice on how to go about it? I wanna start removing rock slowly throughout the day to avoid the anthias from shooting into the rock work.
4 - Heavy Carbon?
Looking for any advice that you have. I have minimal corals which i'll remove but i'll be navigating the fish that will remain in the tank.
Thanks in advance
