Total cleaning

by fihsboy

Im thinking about pulling out all of my rock.......all of my corals.........taken them to the lfs......and completly cleaning my display.....I did a make shift cleaning tonight......its pretty scratched up...but I dont have ANY money for that right now. tank looks like hell.......scratches all over the place....any ideas? Should I clean it up and try to make it look decent......I would drain the water into buckets.......put my rocks and corals in the buckets.......take them to the lfs.....dump the water......come home.....drain the main tank.......clean the walls of the tank completly and clean it up.......refill it and maybe 4-5 days later get the corals and rock. sound like a good idea or no?

I think its a bad idea, you may loose some vital bacteria from the move causing spike issues when u put it all back in???
