So the reef rocks for the 90 should be here soon. Along with that I intend to use a bit of stone from my 44 pentagon. I'm figuring about 20lbs or so. My question is this. How long can I hove that live rock out of water while I set the scape before I can expect a massive die off? I intend to take the live rock out and set the scape without water in the 90. I imagine it will go relatively fast maybe 30 min or so. Then I'll add sand then start adding salt water. Is this advisable. Or should I set the scape with water in the tank. Maybe half full or something? Thoughts anyone. Thanks in advance.
