I have a 12 gallon long nano reef and I'm looking to expand it from 1 to 3 frag racks. To do so the live rock will need to either get eliminated or go elsewhere.
My idea: Add a 34" x 3" x 3" hang on box that will span nearly the entire back of the long tank. 12 cubic compartments with sump-style (over and under) baffles, 80 gph pump. I'll place marine gems and other bio-filtration media in the cubes somewhat liberally and also some cheato with a lamp.
Question: Is there any reason why I can't remove my live rock after establishing the bio-filter in the hob? Go slow for the win or am I missing something?
