Default Where to get starboard?

Since my montis took a hit from nudibranches and/or astrina stars, I am thinking about a little reset and getting rid of my sand and going barebottom just for kicks.

So where to I get this cutting board material from, home depot?

NO Matt no!!! Can't have a BB guy running a forum. The BB zealots might show up and ruin the place. For a 20L it should be pretty easy. A kitchen supply place or even walmart might have a 30" cutting board. Just make sure to to cut it small enough so it doesn't rest on the silicon. I guess it was only a matter of time with the Turboflotor and the tunze on a 20 now they seem approiate
Are you going to cook your rocks?

Just be careful that it doesn't take up all your time so you have to give up on the hobby And be careful that your tank doesn't break, that might just be the end of it all. BB I just dont get it. If god had intended for the sea to be bb he would have coated it in formica. lol

Well this tank is about doing all new things... so it seemed appropriate since I have to do some major cleaning anyway.

heh. I am far from a zealot. I don't think you will have to worry about that.
Cook my rocks? Like Richard Pryor? What are we talking about here?

He doesn't remember does he Covey. Should I PM him with the threads?? OK I think I will (inside joke)
ALL jokes aside Matt, I think that is a great Idea. We were just being a little tongue in cheek kinda thing. Let us know how it works out.
