I'm not sure what "dead Base" rock is, but it looks like alot of the coraline algae is dying off of the rocks i got a few weeks ago  The one I just got a few days ago has TONS of it on there though, so hopefully it will spread instead of die. We have a sand bed that is aprox 3" deep.
I will deffinitely check into Oceanic and see what they have to offer. We aren't looking to spend a whole lot of $. We don't have a skimmer as of now though so the system he has with in included sounds pretty good as far as $ is concerned.
Thanks for the article, I'm reading it now, very interesting so far!!
