Hi everyone. I have a 10 g tank in my kitchen and was thinking about putting 2 clowns in it. I have a 65 g saltwater already set up. If i use 10 lb of rock from my 65g and buy a bag of live et sand and use some of the sand from my 65 g tank would the 10 g have a cycle if its all already has the bacteria and stuff from the 65 g tank? Im woried my 2 sets of clowns are gonna start fighting. I heard so many opinoins in yes u can have 2 sets to no anf i got brave and tried it. Now im woried and think i might seperate them. I have an orange set and a black set. So i was thinking just put the black set in their own litttle home. Thanks!
 
I would take rock from the new tank, but use new live sand. Add a small bottle of IO bio-spira and you're good to go.
