Should I convert my 65g?

Thanks Freddy
I have seen pics of planted marine tanks, they can be gorgeous. I don't think I want any Caulerpa getting a foothold in my LR, and there will probably be an angel in the tank who would eat it... but you never know, maybe I won't end up with an angel and something really interesting will grow out of the rock.

I bought a cooler today to transport the fish, and got the okeedokee from my better half. Maybe I'll start another diary of the new tank once I get going

LOL sounds like your on the way Blinky. Good job.
I've been lugging the r/o water from the machine at Loblaws for a few months now. Gets old fast.
But, I'm sure my tap water is equivalent to yours and in a pinch, I'll top off with tap water (ottawa has poor water however) and have not noticed a prob....soooooooooo, I dunno.
I'm thinking I'll invest in r/o though. I'm in the planning stages of my 90-100 gallon all sps (maybe). LOL dreaming eh??!!
My planted tank is looking so pretty lately I don't have the heart to bust it down. I'm considering sellling it as is, complete with eheim filter, stand, plants and fish. But even that is difficult lol.
Keep us posted.

Whew! What a day! I took all the plants and fish to the LFS to trade and got more than I expected to
Then I picked out some nice big pieces of uncured LR, came home with as much as I could carry (which turns out to be ~30lbs). It's in a Rubbermaid bin with a PH and an airstone right now, it looks nice but smells pretty gross.
After I got home I finished tearing down the tank, cleaned it out, cleaned all the equipment, placed new bio-media in the XP2, filled the tank with warm dechlorinated water and salt and turned everything on. The tank looks HUGE now that's empty! The salt hasn't fully mixed in yet, tomorrow I'll check the pH and SG and move the rock in
