    You could add a ph ,heater and maybe a light fixture to the tote and leave the corals and fish in there until the tank is ready.

    To some extent it does.You will lose some iron over time but it is basically just pourous clay.

    Process is coming along.. dumping old sand stinks and is a mess.

    So many dead chitons and bristle worms
