Combining two tanks?

[gmtopaz]

Hi, I have 2 tanks, one 12 gallon and one 55 gallon, I'm really looking to downside my collection and just focus on the 55 gallon. It has had a lot of issues (mostly since I've focused on the 12 gallon since it's easier to maintain) but has never had any diseases. Corals do struggle in the larger tank but I assume that's due to underfeeding. I'm wondering if adding the stock from my 12 gallon to the 55 gallon would cause any trouble, even possibly adding water/rock from the smaller tank to the bigger one.

Here's a stock list of both:

12 gallon:
2 Clarkii clowns
1 red scooter blenny
1 Sally Lightfoot
1 emerald crab
2 turbo snails
3 leathers
2 lps

55 gallon:
1 coral beauty
1 harlequin bass
2 banggai cardinals
3 turbos
4 lps
3 sps

Your fish look compatible to me. Your scooter blenny might enjoy the extra pods as well.

Can't speak much for anything else though

Looks good. Coral beauty might nip corals though.

I don't see an issue with the fish they all look like they will get along. I would keep an eye on your harlequin and the Sally Lightfoot if it is small.

It is a larger Sally, so I think it will be okay, thank you though!

He hasn't ripped the lps in the big tank yet but I definitely need to keep an eye on the leathers
