If you have any plans to keep SPS, I would avoid adding mushrooms. I was given a rock with mushrooms on it when I first started and I must have 100 mushrooms in my tank now. They take up valuable...

Rinsing sand is a lot of work and you have to ask yourself is it worth your time or would you rather just buy new. Personally, I would buy new stuff.

yes, they will give them out. You will feel weird about it, but they give them out -basically as a community service type thing.

Walgreens gives needles for free - i have a relative that works there and have gotten them to take out mushrooms before. Kalk paste won't pass through the small needles they have though.

All SPS encrust some. They build a base and grow from there. Once they have a nice base, they will start to grow if they are happy.

It looks very clean. I also just washed it off and the readings are still way off. Does it matter where I have the dial set when it comes to calibrating it - 5.5- 9.5?
