that will be a nice look. Less is more when it comes to rock.

yup im going with a minimalist look, i like how clean it is.

I love your aqua scape mike. I dont like when peope just throw a bunch of rock in and it looks like just well a wall of rock. Im enjoying the one island thats already in it. It looks nice. And some nice places for fish to hide.

alright a question i want to get out of the way.

So the rock i have in the tank now that is just cycling away is dry rock that came out of Mikes tank.

about 40lbs, im doing a minimalist look.

Im going to do two islands one on the right and one on the left. I have 2 tanks that are going to be taken down and put into the 90g

All said ill have about another 40-50lbs or more of LR to put in that tank.

WHen i take down the tanks will the Live rock that i've had in my tanks for 7+ months be able to handle a fish or two when i do the switch over?

I know the Dry Rock that is cycling wont be fully cycled but will the LR i have now take on the burden of the added fish? Its going to be two firefish and likely a single occy clown.

You got a running HOB filter, right? Keep it all wet, and toss it on the back of the new tank. That will soften the cycle further.

I think, as long as your lucky- things will be fine. Always worked for me well!

a question for you all..

the doors to my stand, well actually jsut one of the doors is growing a little mold on it, its actually in a spot thats close to the skimmer. How can i stop this from happening?

[Sir Patrick]

I painted the inside of my stand w/ white primer (Kilz brand) and sealed it too w/ polyurathane when I poly'd the stand. Might want to seal the door somehow, or create a movable plexiglass splash guard around the skimmer.
