hoping i could get some help. Looking to move from a 252 liter/ 66 gallon tank to a 324 liter /89 gallon tank.
I was hoping i could get some advice on the following areas:
- I have about 28kg of live rock and would like to increase by a few KG's, should i do this a few weeks before the move?
- should i move the old sand or start with new sand?
- i hear a lot about the tank recycling which we dont want so what steps can i take to avoid this?
- what should i do first, take out as much clean (old water), then take rocks out, then move the fish? what should then go into the new tank?
- can i turn the lights on or should i have them off as much as possible on the day of the move?
- is there anything i can give the fish/ soft corals to help them not be too stressed?
- if i am using old sand, can i add some new sand, should i use half old half new?
- the new water which i will need to top up with, what should this be, i.e. R/O, tap?!, or something from a local fish store, live water i have heard its called? also is it likely that i will lose fish/ corals by doing this move - have others had this experience?
This is my first time doing this and would really appreciate any help here!
thanks team! :thumbsup:
