Question! I recently just transferred all the fish, some hermits, snails and crabs into a 40g breeder tank from a 20g long. When I set up the 40g, I put in a new Fluval filter and let it run for a week before I put anything in it. Now, I use half fresh water and then I used most of the 20g long to fill up the other half and just added new water to the 20g so that can still run simultaneously. Now, in the 20g, I have a Fluval 207 canister with a protein skimmer still running because I have corals still in there that I was worried to transfer too soon even tho it’s technically a “water change” on the 40g since it’s half mature water and half new water.
Now, can I transfer the corals all right away or should I transfer them little by little? Maybe 2-3 a week? Once theyre all transferred, I’m going to put the canister on the 40g. I will have the canister and the filter running. I just wasn’t sure if I should wait to put the corals or do it slowly or if it doesn’t matter?
I have 5 zoa frags, 2 Duncan’s, 3 mushroom coral (Al different types), star polyp, bubble tip anemone (this is the only one I’m kinda worried about), a pagoda cup and a clove.
All levels on both tanks are perfect. I use the corallife light. Really love this light! I run mostly blue and some white throughout the day. Lights are on at 11am till 1030pm.
