Alright, so here is the deal. I was originally was wanting to get 40 lbs of live rock for my 55 gallon for x-mas. But, I have to cut down in live rock since my relatives will not spend like $300 on live rock. So that means I will have only like, 25 lbs of Live rock, Meaning less filtering of wastes. I was originally going to have around 6 moderate size fish in my tank. So, how much more maintenance should I do to keep waste level in nice condition? If I halve the amount of livestock does that mean I would not have to do as much maintenance to cut down on ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates? Also, can I move the 12 lbs piece of live rock from my 15 gallon FOWLR into my 55 gallon?
