Gary came by last night and looked at my tank.

He wasn't even close to it when he saw all my dinoflagellettes. I thought I just had lots of light green algae in there. Maybe that is why the clam I bought way back only lasted a month.

He also saw the results of my snow storm.

The cyano in all its glory could not be seen because the tank was all white but a few patches had started to break through.

Yes he saw the flake food eating cleaner wrasse.

Anyways Gary recommended I put my fish and corals in a 10 gallon aquarium (as I don't have much) and hold them there for a few days while I empty out my tank and bleach it and clean everything out really good. He also recommended the plenum system and he described the microbiology and chemisty involved with very good detail so I think I will try that out.

I also have to throw away my old aragonite (if anybody wants it they are welcome to it just bring the container you want it in ASAP, I think I will be able to start doing all this Monday). I will then have to get some new sand. PM me for address/phone number.

Polkster gave me some good recommendations too and I would like to here tips, tricks, and recommendations from as many people as possible before I start this.

I do have a few questions:

Is it possible to buy any live sand anywhere around San Antonio area?
Does anybody sell 100% cured rock around here?
Would it be wise to hang onto my old live rock?
If I don't where can I get some cool assortments of macro algae (I love the stuff)?
If I am able to keep it what do I need to do to make sure its clean (just soak in RO water for 30 seconds and soak it in 8.6 pH seawater until dinoflagellettes gone?)?
