great idea to do it right before the water change! we need to get back in that habit...I'll tell 'ya though, once this friggin' redo is done we WILL be stepping up our weekly maintenance and cleaning habits! .... yes hon...we will!

but even blowing it around will help suck it away!

we used to do that too...works great!

yes good...but also good for the darn aiptasia!!!!

I think it's better to keep it all clean! the corals can be fed but keeping old food and "crap" on the rocks is not good in a reef tank...IMHO

see...I can do it!

as long as the rocks are clean of critters (as far I can tell) I'll handle them without gloves...will also handle corals from time to time...I'm a picky handler!

... and have chris for the rest

once every three months or so i use something like a turkey bastar. called a sea squirt i belive. its a really long glass tube with a littleplastic spear on the end. its slides in and out. guess its used for feeding meaty stuff to fish. and then the ballon part on the other end

Got one of them about a year ago

They are great for stabbing crabs at night

Also good for target feeding

Ok what size baster is everyone using? I want to get one but our local stores don't carry it so I have to ebay it. They usually list it in oz sizes.
