DSPS tank from Thailand (1000 gallon+)

One of the many thing I don't understand about this hobby. If you replace your live rock with fiberglass rock how will your tank's ecosystem deal with the NO2? Don't you need the anaerobic environment inside live rock to reduce this stuff to N2 + CO2? I thought live rock was the silver bullet of reef keeping.
Please do not take this any king of criticism, I just trying to understand because my rockwork skills s**k and this would be great option for me.
Looking forward to your progress.

That is the theory which we always follow.

Hi Chingchai,
Looks like a great start. I'm sure this will be such a huge learning curve for all of us. Using substitutes and leaving nature untouched will be the future of our hobby for sure. You are again leading the way and inspiring us all.
Wishing you all success :thumbsup:

Anup. Thanks a lot.
 
Today I will try new salt which I think it is the best salt in Thailand. Changing around 700 litres(186 gallon) or 15% of total tank volume.

Without him, I don't think I can maintain my tank.

Chingchai,

Is it safe to leave everything outside like that? Do you have any safety precaution to avoid anyone from "adding unknown liquid substance" into the reservoir tank while you're in the process of cleansing and seeding the new rocks?
