If it is Live Sand and you want it to remain LS then you will need , salt water, circulation, and heat. So you have your old live rock quarantined because of the hitch hiker? Kevin

Then and Now
well heres what my rsm looked like right before i had all the trouble.
 And after the carnage. this is 25lbs of new lr and 5-10 lbs of old lr from tank previous to take down. after the cycle i have have a couple of pieces i will be using from my current temp tanks. i have also added 20 lbs of new sand and added about 10 lbs of old sand. not a very good pic as i am still tring to filter out all the fine dust.  side pics on flickr.

So here is a better FTS without the HOB filter on the front. i have used far less rock and decided to keep all the lr away from the back wall and far enough away from the sides to get a mag scrubber in there. i have use one great free standing piece to create the canopy. it will be better after this new lr cycles as i have one good round plate like piece of rock i plan on moving back in. it is now in a temp tank.

Did you figure out what was in the rock eating all your livestock?

Even though you looked through all the rock, I would be UBER hesitant to put any of it back in the tank!! There HAS to be some sort of critter lurking...you said you saw something drag your Fire shrimp in a hole? What did it look like?

No i havent found it yet but will be setting a trap tonight. got a great crab trap the other day. i uncertain it it will go back or not at this point its just what im hoping to be able to use. privided the monthe i have to find something ( while new rock cycles) goes well. never actually saw the culprit but the front half of the shrimp, clogging the opening.
