calcium question

[Beverly]

Titus,

Did I mention my aching back

Over the past few weeks, I've been noticing how much valonia is my my 42g, so I tore it down yesterday, got out my Xacto knife and scraped it all off Scraped a bit of rock off while doing it to make sure I got to the root of the problem, if you know what I mean. Rinsed each rock off in two separate rinses to help remove any spores I released. Have gone through 20g (and counting) of NSW and one laundry load of towels (and counting) to do the job right.

Am now in the process of putting the tank back together, but the water is cloudy for the moment, so it's pretty hard to see what the heck I'm doing in there Corals are in a rubbermaid tub with heater, powerhead and an NO strip light. Rock not in the tank is in buckets of sw. Will post pics of the tank in a few days once the tank is back together.

Better go soak my sore back in the bathtub until the tank clears
