GSP not growing.

It came with the skimmer. My aunt just bought it for me, I don't want to dissect it. And, I highly doubt I'm allowed to take the "blue noodles" out regardless if I wanted to or not. As long as the skimmer is kept clean, I see no harm with it.

Dissect? Just pull them out. I have been running these skimmers for 5 years without them. Detritus gets caught in there, just like a sponge. Nice aunt!

Not sure if my mother would allow me to do that. But we'll see.

Tell her I said so.

But she doesn't know you.

But you've been taking advice from me & my forum since July.

Shes upstairs right now, I doubt she will let me do it/do it herself. Regardless, do you think it's hypocritical of me to buy live rock?

I totally understand & sympathize with your concerns on this. You can easily use dead rock at this point, it will become live rock in time, seeded by what you already have.

The only thing I have was added at 1.012 and it's four pounds, I don't know if it's dead or not.

You've stated several times you see all sorts of life on there, right?

What looks like life..... Just looks like it has a bunch of crap on it, I don't know if that's life or just a bunch of mess piled together.

. Not very rock savvy

LOL, I think you're good... Add a couple more lbs of lLR if you're concerned & then the rest, dead rock.

I'll see. Still have to get the protein skimmer all ready. Don't think I'm taking out the "blue noodles", though.

"Tell them your Mother's a bitch and she won't let you take them out. The blue noodles are just hanging out in there, what harm are they doing?"

Quoted my mother.

I love surlaW! Wouldn't want to argue with one either.
