Hi gang!
I'm a lucky bastage.. I have a friend buying a rather large tank off of someone including the LR within it (no fish or inverts).
The LR weighs in at somewheres between 500 & 700 lbs.
(looks to be a good mix of all types I've seen advertised)
My friend gave me the offer of keeping the LR (woot!) but I have a problem.. I have no idea how to store that large a quantity of rock for any length of time (talkin weeks here, not days).
I've got a decent cashflow, so going out and buying a half dozen rubbermade bins and low end heaters and pumps is not really an issue.
Plenty of salt and tubing etc etc here.
But, I guess my question really is.. What type of heating/lighting/filtration do I need for such a quantity of LR?
I was thinking perhaps a water only bin with all the heating and pumping gear (maybe an el-cheapo filter?) that fed to and from the other bins? but what about lighting needs?
I also have a skimmer handy if that needs to be in the mix somehow..
Thanks for any insight!!
