    Hello all.
    Gonna be upgrading to a 150g reef ready with stand and plumbing and sump. Just gonna need to buy the pump, and get a better skimmer than the hob i have. Was wondering if anyone would hold my rock and coral and fish so i can possibly move the rest of my tanks out of the way and get the 150 cycling. Otherwise ill throw everything in a few totes with my 250 watt mh over them and running powerheads and heaters. Not ideal with cats

    I'm in Altoona and could set up a trash can with heater and powerhead for you in my basement, no cats here. How much rock do you have?

    Why not throw the rock in the 150 to kick start the cycle?
