You may learn to hate those yellow polyps

[gouch]

well guys i need suggestions on how to move all this over, i dont have a clue??

i need to know about water in holding tanks....should i cycle them someway

i need to know about the rock in there

what about bare bottom

gimme the goods

[Reeftanker3295]

I like the look of sand so id put just a tiny bit of sand so not much maintenance but you still get all the looks. For corals, just take what you like and ship the rest over to me . I like it the way it is except for how all the yellow (the polyps and stuff) is crammed into one spot, need to spread it around and get some more brightly colored things that arent yellow. For transportation i dont know how far of a ride is it?

[gouch]

the ride is a short one only a couple of miles so i was thinking holding tanks for the rocks, fish and corals. one for each, like rubbermaids or something.

i would put a powerhead in each but where do i get the water? doesnt it need to be cycled? if so fresh salt water wouldnt work would it?
