Hi reefers,
I am planning to replace my existing 322 with a good condition second hand 322 and that includes retaining all my existing rocks, fishes and Corals (LPS and softies). This replacement covers the DT, sump and cabinet.
I am worried that new tank syndrome may kicked in and turn this exercise into a disaster. My thinking is that if I reuse 80% of the old tank water with the new setup, that should minimise the new tank syndrome risk. My target is to complete this entire exercise with one day.
Other points:
- My old 322 has been running for more than 2 years and has a sandbed. The new tank installed will be barebottom.
- my plan is to transfer the fishes and Corals into 2 separate boxes with air pumps and old tank water to keep them alive during the tank and sump transfer
Appreciate all advices and inputs.
Many thanks
