Encrusting Monti Question

[cdmurphy]

I have a Pokerstar Monti that is occupying some valuable real estate. My question is what is the best way to get rid of it? I've tried kalk paste which only slowed it up for a little bit but sent my Alk through the roof. I've tried scraping it which again only ****ed it off and it came back bigger and badder than ever. Any suggestions on how to obliterate it once and for all will be greatly appreciated.

use a baster or syringe and blast it with boiling water. Tank water or RODI

Cover with putty?

Use bone cutters to cut off big chunks & place on frag plugs, then trade for other corals... After you cut the mother colony, then apply boiling water or kalk paste to kill whats left.

take the rock out of the tank and use a dremmel to saw off sections for sale.

Unfortunately it is the largest rock in the tank with a lot of other acro's growing on it so taking it out isn't an option. I tried the 2 part epoxy that Rovster mentioned and the boiling water blast ajcanale mentioned. So at the moment I have a big ugly piece of white two part epoxy sitting right at the front of my tank. Next question is how long should I leave it there and am I going to be able to get it off after it sets?

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate it.
