Hello,
I had a 30g AIO nano with ~20lbs of rock in it, mostly live from TBS. I moved houses and the movers dropped the tank. I used this as an opportunity to upgrade, and am going to a 320g total volume tank (250g display).
My livestock have been in a 20g (that was meant to be a QT tank) for over a month now. My new tank is being delivered on Thursday.
I am starting the new tank with all dry rock except for the ~20lbs of rock I have from my previous tank / current holding tank. With such a large disparity in tank sizes, the old rock I have (which is still live) is only going to represent ~10% of the total rock in the system. The rest is going to be aquascaped Marco rock.
A couple of questions:
1. Will I be able to add my fish to the new tank as soon as the 20lbs of live rock I have is added? Id really like to get them out of the QT tank they’re in now.
2. Does it matter if I put the live rock in the refugium/sump or should I put it in the display to seed the new, dry rock faster?
