I was thinking about re-doing a 55 gallon and making it into a reef tank. I was reading in a book that reef tanks can do very well without any substrate at all. I was planning on setting up a jet system under a raised plastic grate. That way, the live rocks sit suspended and all the droppings...

I checked my levels this morning and my Nitrates were sky high. When I looked in the back of the tank, I found one of my serpent stars has died wedged under my bottoms rocks. I basically had to take the whole rock formation out in order to get him out. How do you all deal with this? Let him rot...
