Hi Mike,

Firstly, my apologies, my question was not only stupid :-) it was badly phrased :-(

I guess the point I was trying to make was, what is the use of using THAT much live rock and then scrubbing most of the life from the surface. Surely the same results could be gained by using mostly base rock with just a few pounds of live rock.

My biggest thrill was putting very fresh live rock into my tank and after just a week being able to see the life that was there. All sorts of different algae, sponges, worms and coral fragments. It just seems to me to be a complete waste of a natural resourse to scrub all of that off considering the initial cost and considering the source.

JMHO :-)

John
