I wouldn't recomended this to anyone. Actually this is the first time I mention it on MR. It's just something that happend to me when I upgraded to my 180. I had two tanks at the time the 65 and a 90gal. I combind the two tanks together but I had some extra live stock that I didn't want to put in the new tank so I threw it in the 65 and left it there. All I did to the tank was top it of with rodi water and thats it. I had about 1 inch of sand in it and hardly any rock. Everything I put in it was doing very well so I just left it there. After about a year a friend of mine offered me his fish because he was moving to florida so i put some of them in there and some in the 180. I was worried about the bio laod so I added some bio balls to the wet and dry,the tank has a built in wet and dry and skimmer in it. I just didn't run the air stones for the skimmer. Then Another friend of mine gave me his dead live rock that he had in a 72 gal bowfront and I put that in there as well. It's weird I don't even dose with calcium or buffers and I have coraline on the rocks and walls of the tank. Every thing in the tank was given to me or came from my other tank except for the copper band I bought this week end for it. I am starting to get a little cyano on the sand so it may be time to start taking care of it. I wish I had a digital camer so I could post some pics of it.

	Manhattan Reefs Manhattan Reefs, the best aquarium community on Planet Earth!

	RODI High quality filtration systems used to purify tap water before it is mixed with salt or added to the aquarium for evaporative top off. Most municipal water supplies contain unacceptable levels of Nitrate, Phosphate, Lead, Chlorine, Copper etc. It is critical that these impurities are removed as some are toxic to reef organisms and others fuel algal blooms that can quickly overtake a reef display. Again, there are many brands and many configurations to fit most applications.
