Alright--
The wife and I have been contemplating an upgrade for some time. I currrently have a 55 with a 20 gal sump/fuge.
I would like to get a 180 with a 30 sump/fuge.
Yes, big upgrade, I know. I'm just trying to get it right in my head first. Should I expect a cycle or not? Obviously, I'm gonna add some rock--preferably dead rock as I currently have about 80 lbs. of live rock in my 55 I'll be using.
I guess I'm curious what you think if I add all of my lr, ls, and water to the new system along with dead rock and a lot more sand and water. Woould it cycle? Or would I be better off removing all of my inhabitants ( a huge pain)?
