Stupid idea or not ?????

[Eric23]

I have a 60 cube and I hate my scape.. I want to do a minimalist bonsai type of thing but my tank is mature and I don't want to start all over again. My idea is this take out whatever live rock I want to and put it in either a canister filter or rig up some kind of closed loop system with a bucket or garbage pail and a external pump ??? This way I don't loose any bio filtration when I redo the scape with new rock. I realize that this will be yet another thing to add to my maintenance schedule but I don't care...

Any idea and thoughts are appreciated.. also I have no room in the sump for the rock so that idea is out

That will work if you dont mind the look of the equipment.

You could look into putting a marinepure block in your sump.

I was checking those out... I may do that. What is the equivalent of 60 lbs of rock in a maripure ?
