Hello
I want to move my fish from my 42 gallon tank to a 118 gallon tank. Now, I've got the question: Can I move a yellow tang, a blenny and a longnose hawkfish at the same time, or is it too dangerous?

How old is the bigger tank?

If it's been up and established, it shouldn't be a problem. If the tank is new and just coming out of it's cycle phase, you may want to go slow(like 1 a week apart so the bacteria can ramp up to keep up with the ammonia additions).

Thanks for your answer. The water parameters are stable and perfect since two weeks, so I think it’s ready. I already moved clownfish some days ago and the parameters stayed perfect.
