Totally understand the "I don't care" response.
I had to do Rescue 911 for about a month because the stupid anenomes were getting sucked into the filtering system!!
I finally had to destroy my rock formation and build around the end of the filter so that they wouldn't get stuck onto it.
I agree with the folks on here though.
DON'T give up.
Get those rockls into some water. Clear out as much of the muck as you can and start all over. THat is a lot of time and energy going down the tube not to even the $$$$ part of it.
Plus you know deep down the tank gives you some joy
