I'm not happy with my current aquascape. My tank is 8 months old. Parameters are stable. Fish and inverts seem happy and healthy. Only two corals right now. GSP and xenia. Both are doing great. They are each on their own island and I intend to incorporate them into the new aquascape.
Here is my plan:
1. Build the new rock work outside the tank.
2. Cure the dry rock in a tub filled with discarded DT water and some rock and sand from WC. Have a filter, heater, and flow going for about 4 months.
3. When the tub parameters are stable and match the DT, replace the current aquascape.
I would like to avoid destabilizing my DT chemistry. I've worked hard and been patient up to this point. Don't want to blow it up now.
Any thoughts on pitfalls to avoid? Bad plan?
