What exactly do you plan on doing with ALLLLL those torches?! You are super packed
Hello my name is Tracy and I am a coral hoarder. Group: hello Tracy. Lol need to figure something out my display is starting to look like a frag tank. Lol I even have a frag rack of the front panel. Don’t judge me. I do have a 110 30” tall with 55 sump. Really thinking about selling for a frag tank with a large sump for rock and Macroalgae

I have a frag rack on the front panel too ;Smuggrin And like 30 plugs in the sand. And about 4 on the rock. No judgement from me! But, no that’s a bad idea. Move everything to the big tank and use the WB as a frag tank.

Did not think about that. Would give me 24” x 24” of frag room. But when I think about it my good rock is in the 70 gallon. I do have more than enough dry rock for the 165 but not sure I would trust putting most of my corals in a system that is not well established. Just a year new to the hobby. I don’t think I can pull off what Frank did I just don’t have the experience. @fishguy242 how long did you cure your rocks before you started the tank?

@Thespammailaccount can you get more live rock? Don’t need enough to fill the whole system, add it to the VERY nice rock you have. KP is my choice. Waiting for the weather to cool off and I’m going to order some too! Also...I will take some dry rock off your hands if you don’t want it all...

Yea I could but it will cost a lot to fill a 165 with live rock the reason why I was thinking of selling for a smaller frag tank
