I started my tank a little over a year ago, not knowing what I was doing, intending on a FOWLR only. Of course much has changed and I've been making the necessary upgrades to become a reefer. My aquascape consists of a shipwreck flanked by two piles of dry rock. I'm upgrading lighting and have an APEX on the way, so I'd like to just go ahead and revamp everything at once getting rid of the shipwreck and building a proper aquascape.
My question is, am I best starting over with dry rock so that I can build, drill, epoxy, etc as necessary? Can I build using my existing rock without drying it and starting over? I really don't want to lose the growth that I've accumulated over the 16 months if I can help it.
It's a 135 gal display. Any input is greatly appreciated.
These pics are from when I built the stand and the rocks were still white. I added a couple pieces of live rock to get things started. Now it’s all cured and colored and I’m not keen on the idea of starting over with dry rock.
