Within the last week I purchased a running setup Waterbox 25 with the following: (Package was $500 for those wondering)
Pair of breeding Darwin Clowns
Flame Scallop
Small Conch
Small Horseshoe Crab
Pincushion Urchin
Massive Red Bubble Tip Anemone
A few LPS corals and Clove Polyps on the scape already
Came with:
ATO unit and 5 gal tank
2 Ai Prime Lights+Ai Nero 3
Flipper Scraper
Acrylic Lid (Clearview I think)
Stand + Many reefing tools
Basically a turnkey setup that I put together and its fantastic. I originally intended to part it out and sell what I didn't need, but I really like the setup currently. Here's the problem:
I have a 32 Fluval Flex that I have running already and I want to transfer the livestock from there to this tank, but I want to know if it'll be a bad idea, or is there something else I can do.
I have gotten a few upgrades for the flex, like new media baskets, a clear lid (to upgrade lighting), and an ATO. In the flex, I have:
1 Banggai Cardinal
3 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Pincushion Urchin
A few types of clean up snails
Hammer Corals, a few mushrooms, and some other easy LPS
If given proper placement of the corals I have in the Flex, would the cardinal work out fine in the Waterbox 25? Would it be better to just keep it all separate and have two tanks running? I know the shrimp would need their own place due to the nem.
Thoughts? What would you do in this situation?
