Hi All,

I’m playing of moving my tank on other side of the room. I got 90 gallon tank. I’m planing on removing all fish, rock, corals and draining tank to 95% and sliding the tank across the room. I plan on reusing 70% of the tank water and 30% new salt water. My goal is to keep my invertebrates in the 5% water that will remain in the tank. After I fill tank and add rock will there be a chance of any spikes? Do I have to acclimate my corals? I will keep the tank fallow for at least 4-6 week to kill ich. Any advice would be appreciated

There is a chance of a mini cycle. keep your rock wet to keep sponges from dying do to exposure to air if you want to avoid a mini cycle,
