Ok, 1 other question that was asked, but I am not sure if it was answered, do you know if the 2Kgs live of live rock you added was fresh or cured?

My tank does not have an issue with dinos, but I know that it is a real problem for a lot of people with complete teardowns often being the end result. So people in the future battling dinos, this *may* be an avenue that you wish to explore (adding a small bit of live rock). If you go this route, the re-addition of aged skimmate to the tank may also be part of the technique that is required for sucess (or it may just speed up what would have transpired eventually).

Please if you do try this, please update this thread with your results so that we can collect feedback if this works in a repeatable fashion.

I would suspect that not all added live rock will have the needed biological controls, especially if it has been hanging around in a LFS for how knows long. So the more reports of sucess or no effect that we can get, the better. Good luck.

Dennis
