Back!
Been reading the threads on the big resetting/ r2r/ @brandon249 and stuff like that and just want to make sure the proper way I should go about it
1) my goal would be to get rid of the vermid snails and lower my 200+ nitrates. I got some bumblebee snails and they might be doing something, but removing rock obviously would be way faster
2) Rather than reuse the rock in dt, I could use pretty much dead rock from my sons tank, that he really never fully set up or put fish, but it was sitting in salt water.
3) my main question I guess is ***I know most people reuse their live rock and it’s the whole reason the hard reset works. BUT since I have quite a bit in my sump and Fuge currently, in addition to what’s in the display tank, would that take the place of the rock that’s in the display tank… so I could use that “new” rock?
I hesitate to even put in any of the old rock from the display tank back, since it has the stupid snails on it and rinsing the sand should have a huge result on lowering nitrates/is partly cause?
———————
I currently have a 180 display tank, basement probably 50-75 gallons of water in that, 75 gallon fuse, (2)30 gallon frag tanks, and a 40 gallon frag tank.
All connected it is about 330 gallons pretty much total system volume
————————
I can turn off the return pump flow into one or both 30g frag tanks (where I plan on putting the fish and remaining coral), and or turn off the one drain into the 40 gallon frag tank
then do the work on the display tank
then after finishing, turn return back on for whole system
