Hey,
I currently have a 2 year old bare bottom SCA 66 g SPS tank that is doing fairly well. I am moving so the opportunity for a new tank arose. I purchased a 260 gallon tank and looking forward to the build. My main problem with current tank is bristleworm infestation and vermetid snails. Neither has had any adverse effect on the health of my corals. Bristleworms are largely in the chaeto and refugium section but sure to be in the display and rocks in the sump. I have not seen any large worms. I do have a melanarus wrasse that may have kept the population under control in display.
Question Is in Addition to the new dry rock for the upcoming build, would you recommend transferring old live rock to the new build? I would like to speed up the cycle but at the same time hate bristleworms and vermetid snails. Or should I just start over?
What would you do?
