Thanks in advanced. Quite a few questions.. I upgraded to a 125 from a 55gall 3 months ago. I used new sand with 4 cups of the old.
Now I am upgrading to a 180. I am wondering if it is safe to reuse the old sand? I would be adding about 40lb of new sand with the old sand. If I need to rinse it, whats the best method to do So? Unfiltered township tap water? Mix salt water?
And what is the best method on transporting all livestock and coral? I HAVE a 56 gallon tank I am selling that I could use in the meantime to house livestock.. however. If I was to do that.. would I need to put liverock in? If not how long would I have? Should I add sand in after? new or old first? If I transferred fish right in, dinthey still need to acclimate?
Any and all help is much appreciated!!
If the 180 wasn't going in the same spot the 125 is in in would set them both up until I can tear the 125 down. It's getting listed for sale anyways..
Thanks again!!
