I currently have a 30gal. with live rock and 3 inverts, and want more! I have been pricing a 90 gal. with my lfs and he called to tell me he had a customer wanting to sell a 90 gal with trickle filter, protein skimmer, power head, good lights, live rock, 5 fish, books, food, meds, etc. for $4oo. Seems like a good deal.?? If I get it, I definately want my own water so both of my systems have the same composition. My lfs said he will take the fish in trade for the tangs, butterflyfishes, etc. that I have been dying to take care of. Do I need to cycle this new tank, or will the established filter, skimmer, live rock,etc. rapidly cycle the new water that I will fill the tank with? I could take the "blues brothers"(yellow tailed damsels) out of my current tank to help cycle, but they seem so happy and each have their own living quarters, so I hate to disturb them. Thanks, as always, to all for the input!
