I WAS WONDERING WHICH IS BETTER A REEF SYSTEM OR A FISH ONLY. I ONLY KNOW ABOUT FISH ONLY. I HAVE TWO TANKS NOW A 64GAL AND A 55 GAL THAT IS GOING TO BE USED FOR NOW AS A HOSPITAL TANK. I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD USE LIVE ROCK IN EITHER 55 GAL ONLY BEEN CYCLING FOR A WEEK NOW, BUT I USED HALF NEW CRUSHED CORAL AND HALF FROM MY OLD TANK WHICH HAS BEEN RUNNING ABOUT A YEAR. TOOK OUT ABOUT 30% OF WATER FROM OLD TANK ALSO. WHAT ABOUT ADDING SNAILS CLEANER SHRIMP TO MY OLD TANK. I GET SOME BROWN ALGEA ON MY DEAD CORAL AND FAKE ROCKS AND A LITTLE ON THE GLASS. DO YOU HALF TOO PUT A LOT OF ROCK IN THERE OR CAN YOU JUST PUT SAY HALF THE AMOUNT IN GALLONS FOR YOUR TANK? WHATS THE BENIFIT? I REALLY LIKE FISH ONLY BUT AM CURIOUS ABOUT REEF SET UP.ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL HELP ME DECIDE
