I'm downsizing my 36 to a 12 gallon reef as I gear up to move. The 12 will be the nee permanent home for my pair or clowns, nem, damselfish and snail/hermits.
My current plan is to run them side by side, share some water and cycle the 12 with microbacter7. Share some biofilter media and slowly move the sand from one to the other. Probably over a week's timeframe.
Any advice is appreciated. I've done a little reading but never have I moved my fish so I'm a little weary. My main concern is the tank cycles, fish belly up, you know- the nightmare! Priscilla the happy clown thanks you in advance!
