Hi all! So I'm moving a few blocks to a new house later this week and I have about a week of overlap to make the move. I'll be setting up a new larger tank during the transition and I'm trying to work out the logistics of the tank move.

Does this seem like I'm on the right track? Any suggestions to help things go smoothly?

I have a 32 gallon AIO and will be setting up an IM SR 60 AIO.
I'd like to get the new tank set up early, this week by adding substrate and getting it filled and running for about 4 days until I can start bring rock and livestock over. I'll bring as much current tank water at that time and using it in the new tank.

I'll be adding my current live rock and not adding any more initially. Many of my sps are on the rock so I won't really have an easy way to acclimate anything but I will have the tank up to temp as salinity.

Is there anything I'm missing or should consider doing differently? This is my first tank move and since it's so close, literally a few blocks, I wasn't going to worry about airstones etc....

Thanks in advance!
 
Sounds like a solid plan. Since its only a few blocks it soinds like a nice tank transfer. Congrats.
