Converting A 24g Freshwater Tank -> Nano Reef?

[dgoulston]

Ok so i have my main tank, which is a 24G (90L) Fluval Tank, with fish.

I am going to get another tank to house my CatFish & Neons, but i know that my Mollies can live in full Marine tank.

so is it possible to convert my tank from what it is not to a full reef tank without taking out the Mollies?

PS> i have been reading all the stickys and all about nano tanks.

Mollies are sometimes used to cycle a marine tank.

You set the tank up with freshwater and add salt each day gradually building it up to full strength seawater.

just remember that if you have ever used any copper based meds in there, the tank will have absorbed some of the copper which will be extremely harmful to any inverts (including corals) that you add to the tank.

and personally speaking, setting up a nano reef and keeping mollies is the equivalent of buying a sports car and driving everywhere at 20 MPH
