OK, so the rocks bottom isn't working for me because it's difficult to place the plugs on them. I'm thinking of converting to black sand. Here's my strategy
1. prepare a tank with black sand, fill tank with current tank water, add heater and power head...let cycle for a week. (is cycling sand a good idea?)
2. after a week move everything out of current tank into temporary tank (not the black sand tank...a 3rd tank)
3. move black sand into current tank, fill with water and rocks current tank...
4. let it settle for a week
5. move occupants and corals back
Your thoughts please.
thanks,
Max
