Upgrading 46 to 75

Greetings Richard et al:

I'm in the process of building a replacement for my 46 bow front. I've got a 75 sitting in my garage just begging to be set up!

I've got close to 50 lbs of rock in my current tank with a mix of mostly LPS, softies, a couple SPS and anemones.

I know I'll need to get more live rock and am very interested in TBS rock!

A couple questions:
1. Do you ship with Alaska Airlines? I live in Alaska and work for Alaska Airlines. I know we have one daily departure to Seattle from Tampa. With a Seattle connection, a shipment can make it to Anchorage in a day (a long day, I know, my family and I did it last March!). Will everything be ok if I picked up the next day?

2. With a system that's been running for several years, I won't need a very large shipment- maybe 30-40 lbs? I'd still like to get the Package with clean up crew, etc. would I just start at Step 2?

I'm really having a conundrum with how to make the transition to the larger tank.... Do I move the 46 and all its inhabitants to a different location and start new with the 75- new sand, rock, cycle, then transfer everything over a period of a few weeks. Or do I move all at once, completely tearing down the 46..... Decisions, decisions.

Fortunately I have a while to research this... I still have to build a stand and save up for lights, skimmer, TBS rock, etc!

Thanks for you time and advice!
 
Will check on Alaska airlines..

best way to do this is to put everything you have in the new tank...let it flow a couple of weeks...then deduct what you have from the Package recipe...and that is what you need!
