Jeff brings up a good point. Since the tank is going to be virtually empty,
it would be a perfect time to do a water change and get some of the nasty
build up out of the tank.... I think that with my old 20 gallon microreef,
part of the success I had with it was that I moved every 9 months (apartment
hopper) and when I did I had the opportunity to give it a good cleaning...
just a thought.

Steve
I first removed some of the rock and then I kind of got really
involved and had to remove almost all of it because like I said that things
don't always go the way we plan.
That is why you should kind of get a few ideas before hand.
I made a mess of things at first and my skimmer went nuts for a few
days but everything recovered better than I could have imagined ( I am
convinced that my skimmer ( one from Ron's ) kept my
organic under control ) I would blow out everything with a power
head first next time because you would not believe all the gunk that is in
places that we can not see, ( hence is the reason I
ended up making a water change because I sucked all the crap that
was left on the bottom, I have no substrate, just glass)
Good luck my friend,
Jeff
