yeh, thats what seems interesting now . . . the equipment is better and cheaper generally, and many of the older cutting edge methods are just good practice now.

any suggestions for ramping up sponges on new cured dry rock??

thanks again for the consideration.

Google GARF Grunge. I used this to populate a cryptic fuge a year or so ago. It would probably help seed your dry rock.

I always found that sponges just showed up on my rocks as the tank matured.

Steve Tyree has a thread on the Reed Discussion sub forum that's worth reading. $16 or so spent on his most recent book is probably money well spent if you are interested in incorporating sponges as part of your tank filter.

Thanks Fredfish.
Have always enjoyed the Tyree LE pieces. Will give that one a read and pick up the text as well.

My old talk was seeded with a variety of live rock from tanks and LFS around the area and I recall having some great sponges . Did not appreciate that set up as much as I should have, looking back now :debi:
