I’m about ready to move my new SCA 150 in the place of my 75.
Heres my strategy:
1- Fill two 50 gallon storage totes with current tank water (supplement with fresh saltwater)
2- Rocks and coral in one, fish in the other.
3- Air stone, heater and power head in the fish tub
4- Power head, heater and lights over the coral/rock tub
5- Tear down and remove the 75, discard current sand
6- Move the 150 in. Hook up all the equipment, fill about halfway with water and salt mix- heater and power head.
7- Aquascape with current rocks, then add new Fiji pink live. Fill with remaining water from rock/coral tub
8- When water clears, add fish.
There is no guarantee that I can get this done in one or even two days. Will my livestock be ok in the tubs for a few days (up to a week?).
I’m contemplating getting a smaller 10-20 gallon aquarium to use as a future quarantine system. Would I be better off putting my fish in there? 2 clowns, 2 damsels, coral beauty, flame angel, flame hawk, neon dottyback, niger trigger, lawnmower Blenny. Seems to be a lot for even a 20 gallon...
Is there a better way?
