Rocks -what/how?

[Europhyllia]

It's 4 AM and I can't sleep because Jordan N. made me think about my rocks again...

The new aquarium will be set up in the same spot as the old one is now so there's no way to have the new one cycling ahead of time.

The liverock in my current tank has some stuff on it I don't like so yes- like Jordan said- a tank upgrade might be the perfect time to just start over.

But I want to keep all of my livestock and like I said: Setting up the new tank before moving day is not possible.

I really like the use of dry rock (marcosrocks.com).
And I won't have the funds and all of the equipment for the new tank for another few months anyway.

So how about this: can I set up a mock up tank now? A large tub with circulation, venturi pump for aeration, new marco rock, a clamp light (most of my most beautiful coralline seems to grow in my refugium under the clamp lights), feed a cube of mysis to the rocks every other day and have ready to go clean healthy liverock in a few months?

I was considering just adding the new dry rock to the sump (my sump only has cheato - not the caulerpa I am trying to get rid off in my display tank) for a low maintenance way of getting the new rock cycled but I am wondering if it could still catch some stuff and be infested as well.

What to do? How to do it?
