I have a battery dremel and all kinds of discs, I was told I needed diamond cut but there are so many on ebay I don't know which one. I also need to be able to cut some rock that is in a tank but will drain most water out then put water back in. Any ideas?

You don't need a diamond wheel, it just is useful for when you make straight cuts on LPS coral. Any diamond wheel will do. For branching corals you can break off a branch with your hand if it's not too thick, or a pair of pliers or bone cutters or toe nail clippers. For soft corals... well depends upon the type, some you can cut with scissors others you can use the bone cutters.

As to the rock, take the rock out get a good flat head screw driver and a hammer and chip off what you want. Don't do it in the tank though you'll bust through the bottom pane of your aquarium :D

Should have gone to BAP and watch the coral propagation presentation!
