spiny urchin

I am selling off my 125 gallon acryllic reef tank, cherry wood stand and canopy, all of the livestock, live rock, and all hardware. I am trying to sell it as a whole system but if I don't get any takers, I'll start parting it out. In fact, if it doesn't sell, I'd be willing to host the September...

Is it possible that some rocks can cure faster than others? Could you tell by the smell of the rock, some of my rocks stink and some smell good to go,but I am not experienced in this area so smell may just be something that does not matter

Would like some advice as to what is the best urchin for a reef or if there is such a creature. Any a thought as to a good one? What have your experiences been with these little spiny creatures. :)

There's an interesting discussion on the coral-list ([email protected]) between some of the folks that currently research this topic in THE OCEAN, some of these discussions revolve around the semi-closed aspects of shallow bays and lagoonal biotopes, and as such, may not be...
