Update: As it sat, It had enough water to cover the sand, but less that half the rock. On Saturday I "cooked" the rock, by filling the tank with clean ro saltwater, started half circulation, heaters, but no filtering or lights. On Sunday, I drained most of the water and did 2 80% water changes...

Treating like a new setup then. Thanks guys!

So, I picked another nano from a neighbor, who has had it sitting in the basement for over a year, with the tank broken down, no heat or light, just enough water to cover the rock and sand. The question is, how "live" will it be? Should I consider it dead, and seed it, then cycle like any other...

So my plans were for a 240-250 gal afowlr. Ive been offered a complete 90 gal for $50. By complete I mean live sand, live rock, skimmer, uv, and 2 filters in a 20 gal sump. So the question i have is, How many fish? Got a suggested list? Minimums are a 1 lion, 1 trigger, and 1 SFE.

Its about time the mean little --- started pulling his own weight... (For the record this is a GIS image, not my actual fish. Mine wouldnt pose without giving me the bird)

So heres the latest fearmongering expose' from some local new channel. http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_articl...4&provider=top Cliff Notes: they are tatooing fish in Taiwan and selling them with extra stripes, dots, or even shapes such as hearts. Photoshop the tatoo YOUR fish wants! :happyfish

So. Nobody is going to comment on useing live rock vs base rock? The question is why pay $6/lb for live rock if you end up killing it the first time you need to treat the tank? Is it worth it? Can a guy get away with starting with 70% base and 30% live and let it seed from there? Comments?

So we will be moving to a new home in the spring. We will be moving our 3 (12,15,18) micro-reefs, but the most important thing is in the new home we will have space for that AFOWLR that weve been dreaming about for 12 years. Taking into account we are experienced reefkeepers and know the basics...
