Moving old tank and replacing with new is the puzzle part of this I'll probably set up the new one beside the old, once the old is gone, drain the new and slide it into place. Fill.

Ya, it's something I started thinking about 6 months ago. Large cubish type tank, probably be able to keep most of my fish and most of the corals I like. Less maintenance, less cost, more halide

Sorry to hear about this Brad. Here is something that worked extremely well for me.
In my experience an army of peppermint shrimps (about 30 or so in a tank your size) should have the AEFW cleaned up for you within 2-3 weeks. That includes eggs.

Greg, that's an interesting approach. I could see it working somewhat, except on larger colonies that shrimp wouldn't be able to get into.

When I did it the shrimp varied in size and you wouldn't believe the wierd places their little pincers can access.

ok , so peppermint shrimp eh .. lets see
30 peppermint shrimp at $9 each = $270. Not having to shut down tank and set up a new one .. Priceless( maybe ) I have never heard of this approach before , but man would that ever be sweet if it worked . Is there any fish that kill peppermint shrimp.. being that they are small ?

If I find another colony affected, I might grab a couple just to experiment in isolation. Oh, and buying 30 gives you a 30% discount at J&L

That sucks Brad but I do like the cube/halide remedy.
