I am moving and have been unable to sell my 2 clowns (they are still small under 2"). I currently have a 29 gal DT with 20 gal sump. The sump has a RO NWB 110 skimmer in it. Well since im moving I wont be able to bring the 29. I will be buying a 10g with a HOB filter, I will most likely go BB. I wont be using any special lights I am just going to focus on keeping the 2 clowns and few snails alive. I will be putting 10-15lbs of live rock (from the current tank) and a heater in the tank and be using at least 5 gallons of the old water. Any suggestions? I most likely wont ever have a skimmer since the tank will be so small, and hopefully I will be able to sell them before too long. Does this setup sound like it will work? I know it wont be established but I will be moving the rock in buckets full of water so no bacteria (maybe a little) should die off. Thanks for the imput
 
That's what I was thinking, with no sand there would be no diatoms, using cured rock that won't be out of water for more than 10mins total and having normal lights that won't help growth for anything algae and cyano shouldn't be too bad
