Hey guys need advice on swapping a sps tank to another tank I'm setting up I'm in the process of setting up a 90 shallow reef filling it with water as we speak my ? Is how should I go about swapping everything from my current tank to my new tank I plan on taking 50-60 gals from my old tank and putting it in my new tank once the swap beings but what else should I do?
 
Get Dr. Tim's "One and Only" to help minimize cycling effects. If this involves a move into a new living space then get a lot of 5 gallon buckets and maybe some smaller Brute trash cans for transport. Try to have some saltwater mixed and ready to go just in case anything goes wrong.
 
No it's in the same house just about 20ft apart setting up my 90 tank in a different spot then where my bow front is
 
I have switched tanks but made sure that all water parameters were as close as possible. Sounds like your water swap is a good step in the right direction. I would think you are changing lights too? This may also stress corals if the new light is more or less intense than in the old tank.
 
Forgot to mention that I swapped tanks after the new one had completely cycled with the new rock required for my upgrade.
