Hey guys, I am getting a 75g tank from petsmart. It comes with tank, stand hood and led light bar for $299

I have a 20g tank with some softies, clean up crew and a perc.

I am going to go with 120 lbs of sand and plan on putting the sand from the 20g in to kick start the curing process.

I am getting a canister filter rated at 120g tank size. Also going to reuse my heater from the old tank, it was rated to 75g

After the salt if right and the temperature is correct what do I need to do migrate everything over?

On my 20g I am using a Current USA Loop led light. I will use it on the new tank as well as the led supplied with the tamk.

Any help and suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance!
120lbs of sand is quite alot i have 120lbs in a 5x2x2 150 and its little more than 2 inchs of sand some spots maybe 3 inchs kinda wish i went with maybe just 100

Where in Texas are you? I am in E.P. TX and might be able to help you with a sump.
