This makes me want to rescape my Tonga branches now... well done, beautiful tank.
How did you rescape after they were wet and with coral on them ?

Hi,

I rescaped the rocks then I cure them in salt water for a while while checking nitrate and phosphate before putting the new rocks back into the tank.

Teo the coral

Thanks! For me I pluck all the corals off, break the scape apart and acid dip. Create the new scape then put it back in. I do go through a small algea bloom as the rock settles in, but nothing crazy. And after a couple weeks it's mostly covered in coraline again.

Did you ever have any problems with the vertex omega 130 on your reefer 170. Was it hard to adjust? Did it ever overflow on you? Would you have gotten a different protein skimmer in the beginning after having it on your reefer 170? ANy advice would help.
