Food becomes trapped in the crush coral and therefore decays and turns into nitrates. If you vacum the crushed coral during waterchanges you can cut down on the waste build but with having sand in their too you will be sucking some sand up and disturbing the benificial bacteria in the sand...

still floating

What kind of fish do you have? I feed my shrimp small pieces of scallops everyother day.

If your putting the live rock in a rubbermaid container you can put them in their also. Just make sure you have a powerhead and heater in with them also.

Beth, dont you have to remove the inverts also?

Well the only thing you can do is setup a qt tank and treat in their. Once all of your fish are out of the tank you have to let the tank sit fishless for atleast 6 weeks to let the ick cycle die off. HTH

you can but the sand will eventually sift its way to the bottom and with cushed coral you will have a build up of nitrates in your tank. I would just go with the sand.

I have a berlin skimmer that Iam pulling out of my tank to clean. What is the best way to clean it. Thanks

NM REEF, beautiful pictures. always got to be a show off. lol

i would set up a qt. more likely your other fish will also get ick.

Traveling four hours away from picking up live rock would produce die off on cured live rock. So you may have had a spike.

Here they are.

i will will post a picture in a few minutes

When I had my qt tank setup I ran a seaclone also and had the same problem. Where the water dumps back into the tank put a powerhead filter their. That will stop all your micro bubbles. HTH
