So I have a semi annoying problem, I'm setting up a tank, and I was just informed that the room being altered for the tank (Man cave) is going to take a little longer then anticipated. almost two months. Now I have tons of rock that I was just going to kill and then cycled in my "New" system. Now with this new delay it means after the room is in and I set everything up it would be almost December before I could put coral in the tank.
Here is my solution. I have a Bk mini 160 not being used and two tunze nano controllable streams not being used. Could I buy a plastic tub, and place it out back with SW and the rock and cut a small hole for the skimmer to do its thing and let it cycle out side? Its close to 80 out there every day so temp would be fine. the skimmer would do its thing, and I could do a water change roughly once a week maybe every two.
