Okay, so I have done about 65 gallons of water change between my 55 and 75 in the last week. The 55 looks great but I have found that the falco hawkfish and the pajama cardinal have sent the pods running for cover. I watched as they played and wrestled for food and scurried around on the rocks. Now they are no where to be seen. I am guessing they are there still hiding in the rock and caulerpa. I need to get a refugium going again to try and ensure a constant population.
Enough about that though. My DSB in my 75 is pretty much dead. I do have a convict blenny in there who keeps it stirred up and he has remained alive so maybe there is something left. (Even though my nitrates are embarrassingly high!) Anyway I was just wondering if there is anyone who would trade a few dixie cups of powder fine aragonite for some wormified live sand from your tank. Or is there anyone with a large enough refugium that would be willing to take a piece or two of live rock and let it gather residents for a month or so. The rock would be aiptasia free, but may have a bristleworm or two in it.(They are the kind that eat detritus.)
I have used this method before and it really jumpstarts a tank. I would even be willing to offer small compensation for the opportunity to build my micro population back up. I will be covering a good stretch of the state in the next month. I will be ranging from South Alabama to Decatur at different times throughout June and July, so location is not a big factor.
Any help is much appreciated!!!!!
