Re: Moving 180 FO tank

If I take the fish and some of the rock and move them into a 55gal tank, use a fluval that has been running on the 180 to filter it.
Then move the rest of the rock and sand into 32 gal trash cans - how long can I keep the rock and sand in the trash cans without filtering?
It is looking like this is going to be 2 week project.

First - rock does not need filtering. Live rock is a filter itself.
So I would put a strong powerhead (maybe MaxiJet1200) into each
trash can with rock and let the water circulate... Also, you need to
think about the temperature and light. If you have any growth on
the rocks wich requires light, you need to provide light - two weeks
without light for photosyntetising animal can be deadly.
