Upgrading 75 to 90 RR

CoralReeForrest · 02/08/2015, 12:58 AM

Ok! so thoughts, new tank is just about filled up i stopped filling as to leave room for water displacement from sand and rock... it got salted today its a little over.026 and added new sand after spending all afternoon washing the sand. will put dry rocks in tomorrow and the dr tims in to help jumpstart the cycle. im going to let it cycle for about 2 weeks and then transfer stuff over. My biggest worry is that of my RBTA hopefully he handles the move well. When i transfer on the day ill disconnect my sump and install it under the new tank and get it turning over. Does anyone see any issues with this plan of action? I am not using any of my old rock as the bryopsis plague went away and then came back with a vengeance so im starting fresh all the way.

thoughts?

That might be premature for the rbta.

That's what I'm thinking too. I could always put him back in my brothers tank which may end up being what happens. Will see how it goes.
