Randy,
Muriatic acid, Live Rock and Vermetid snails... oh my !!! How long after acid before you can use the rock again?
I tore down my 90 gallon and was doing a reset when decided to go bigger. I had infants and had a big battle with vermetid snails, the tank went into maintenance mode only...
So I am in the middle of a battle with Red Planaria which has been going on for several months now. I've tried manual removal (keeps the population down, but it comes back), Flatworm eXit (corals do not like this), 12 Line Wrasse, and a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. Some of these have shown promise...
I've been soaking some rock in freshwater for 3 weeks or so and finally got some LaCl to help get phosphate out. Rock is soaking with a powerhead for circulation.
I added the first dose of the LaCl. As expected the water clouded up and within about 24 hours it cleared up.
My question is should...
