My fault was trying to save a few bucks on live rock from a non-reputable source. Ugh, I wish my flux capacitor wasn't broken on my Delorean or I'd go back and in time and warn myself. Saved about $200 up front on the rock, only to spend double that on salt, tech-m, esv.

I'm assuming you had to completely scrub the tank and equipment when you restarted?
