I sold my live rock to someone who is starting up a Red Sea Reef tank and has cycled the tank for 5 weeks with different live rock.
My live rock has been in my tank for 3 years and is formed into pillars with epoxy.
He wants to remove some live rock from his tank and add the pillars. The pillars have some encrusted corals on them and he wants to add coral and fish from my tank as well (I am shutting my tank down)
Will removing his LR and adding this LR pillar cause a cycle in the tank?
Should he add the LR Pillar with some water from my tank, then wait until ammonia and nitrite 0 to add more fish/coral?
When I moved to my new house 3 years ago, I brought the LR pillars with me and was able to get new water/sand cycled and add the rock. But I added the fish a little later. The coral that was on the rock did not die and I dont think a cycle occured, but I have a 180gallon, His is smaller, like 90
