I have purchased a used/established 75 gallon reef.

I am currently shopping for a new stand and canopy and have found that it will need to be ordered and my take up to 3 weeks (Oceanic Light Oak Stand & Canopy)

With this in mind will it be OK to leave the filter and live rock in a tank that doesn't have a "running filter" but does have light, powerhead (placed the sump pump in the tank) and heater? It will need to be that way for about 2 weeks???

Also if there is anyplace on the web that I can purhase the stand etc. that would be great info as well!

Any help would be appreciated.
:D
 
Oh I think I understand what you mean.

Are you talking about the filter media?

How many pds of LR is there?

Should be ok, if I understand what you mean. :wink:
 
I have the filter media in there and will need to set up another tank in order to run the filter.
I am trying to keep from setting up the 75 gallon until the new stand is here... Does that make more sense?
There is about 20-25 lbs of live rock with snails and a couple of crabs in there...no fish.... :D
Perhaps I go get a 10 gallon and go ahead and set it up like that. Just wondered if that was necessary?!
