Upgrade Plan

oshanickreef · 09/18/2014, 07:14 AM

So im upgrading from my 60 cube to a custom shallow 90 gallon tank. I decided yesterday that im going to need to add a lot of rock and im also going to take out some of the ugly pieces that i have in my 60. i also got a bottle of that Dr. Tims reef bottle of bacteria. and i will dump that in and cycle this rock for about 3-4 weeks until i move into my new place and setup my new tank. i also got ammonia becuase i have to produce an ammonia source for this bacteria to feed on and i dont want to add a random fish in there since i will just be having this in a 32 gallon trash can in my room... lol

has anyone else done this? I am curious to see if it was effective because the last thing i need is for this new rock to cause some sort of cycle in my system because i have a LOT of coral in there. I am just hoping that this bacteria will fully cure the rock.

basically im trying to make my transfer from my 60 to 90 as smooth as possible.
