Hi all,
First, if there are some really informative existing threads on this, a link alone would do me.
I returned to the hobby in May with an IM 15, and I've now bit the bullet and have a CADE 1500 S2 en route to me via Algae Barn.
I'm good on the gear and husbandry front, but I'm really hemming and hawing about transferring the inhabitants and rock and stuff from the Nano, which I've heavily invested in seeding with a ton of biodiversity, to the CADE. When, how, etc. I really don't want to do a raw shrimp or unassigned cycle, but I'm not sure just transferring some rock with live sand etc and the inhabitants is gonna do the trick for a ten times larger ecosystem.
Basically, I'm fishing for advice and perspective. The hobby has changed a lot in the 17 years I've been gone from it.
Thanks!
Mike
