I see a couple small posts, but nothing substantial on this.
I am upgrading from a 36g to a 75g. In no hurry. Right now I have about 35lbs of live rock and about 25lbs of live sand. Also have a bta, clown, royal gramma, and a yellow tang. Also have a skunk shrimp, a zoa colony, a pociliopora, a trumpet coral and a small monti frag. Using a reef octopus hob skimmer solely for filtration along with a mp10 .
I guess I am looking for step by step instructions. I will be using the hob skimmer for the 75 until I save up for an in sump version. I will have a sump for the 75. I am going to get about 30 more lbs of dry rock that I will seed with my existing live.
Lots of questions:
Should I fill the 75 with water change water from my 36? Or just fill it up and cycle it separately?
I could just use some step by step instructions to guide me with my transfer.
