Hola...

Over the weekend I managed to obtain a new to me 180g tank...so over the next couple of weeks I'll be procuring additional things and setting it up
My new tank: 63 x 24 x 30 from an aqueon 90G I started with.

So my question....What's the best and safest way move everything over?

Anticipating the purchase of the tank; I ordered additional marinepure plates and more spheres which are now in my sump...since this is going to be an instant tank!

Any suggestion/recommendation to ease the move?

Thanks
 
Set it up. Add rock and stuff. Let it sit running for a week or 2.
 
Thanks!
The problem with that...I will be reusing most if not all the equipment from the "old" tank, so it's going to be hard to have the "new" DT up and running for 2 weeks.
