Sure. Make sure the fish are acclimated to the new water, then transfer them over.

How is the live rock. I am thinking about buying some off of J&L. Is it nice rock with organisms growing and living on it.

Has your rock been fully cured?
I know the kanai from J&L's is really stinky, but it does look nice for cave formations and so on.
As for life in the rock, I have still to notice any living organisms with the exception of some bristle worms. No hitchhikers whatsoever :sad:

Do a search for "Kanai". A number of individuals have given their opinion of the rock on several occasions.

MY rock isnt fully cured yet some of it is from my other tank and i must say its nice rock i like it. Has alot of differant colors in it and comes in many shapes some even looks like huge tonga chunks. I have found some wonderfull hitchhikers on it only 1 crab so far i think for the price its a great rock.
