So in the time between my last updates here and INDMAS... I've been busy, REAL busy! Had a kid (she's awesome), got into a band that stays busy, and then of course the day job... Well during all of that time my 75g tank took a serious nose dive. I also almost caught the tank on fire with an electrical fire (I wont get into that), and have been over run by some kind of crazy green hair algae.... So I'm starting over.

I've got a 40g setup now with some "safe" life rock in it. I'm going to kill the stuff that's infected by the green algae monster and dry it out. Any good suggestions here?

What about all of the sand? I was thinking that stuff needs to get scrubbed too, any ideas? Maybe I should just get new sand?

Thinking I'm going to stick to softies mostly.

Boiling the algae infested rock works well. But I haven't tried boiling sand.
