I just removed the last of the livestock into the 10 gallon. As you can see, all of the live rock above the sand bed is already gone and in a bucket (originally for "cooking"...) Losing the live rock is a real shame, but the only thing live on it now is algae, bacteria, and some miscellaneous bivalves. It is now waiting to be taken to the local fish store- Keen Reef, to be cooked by Tim and enjoyed in a few months by someone else.
This was aquacultured rock from the Florida Keys that is cultured and sold by our friend Ken Nedimeyer (sealifeinc.net) Until a few months ago, it was loaded with feather dusters, tunicates, worms, etc. Really good stuff, and a sustainable resource unlike most of the live rock being sold. There was a lot more life on the rocks we received from Ken than on anything I've seen in a local store.
