Tank transfer....no lights
I was thinking of starting my tank transfer as my 180 appears ready. Unfortunately, I am without lights for another 3 weeks probably. Is there anything that will do fine with only natural lighting? my tank has a source of indirect window lighting during the day. I'm just thinking it would be easier if I could get the fish and stuff in there and acclimitized first, then only have to worry about rock and coral when my lights get in

Re: Tank transfer....no lights
Rock and fish will be just fine without light. If you are eager to get started, I'd move as much rock and fish as you can, then wait on moving the corals.

Re: Tank transfer....no lights
not so much eager......I just figured it would be nice to move stuff slowly over the next few weeks while wait for the light. Then when it comes in, all I'd have to transfer is my coral and a little bit of rock.....nice and stress free
