Hey fellow reefers,
My sister has a 37 gallon FOWLR tank with an Eclipse hood.
She has marks on the glass of the tank as if it's been etched in and wants to replace the scarred tank with a new one. The tank has been running for about 5 months after experiencing some ammonia and cycling problems.
She's got a 4" DSB and wants to know if there's a suitable procedure that works for transferring the sandbed to the new tank without releasing toxins, etc. Would it be wise to house the fish elsewhere for a while after transferring the contents?
Any recommendations for planning the transfer and successfully completing it would be helpful.
Thanks,
Mark
