Welcome to Reef2Reef! You're in the right place for help! I think there is a thread on here with guidance on how to move a tank and the general best practices.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!!
 
Bey guys looking advise a quick just started a reef aquarium and my reading all over the show,
Tank was brought last week in very poor condition and with my aim in tow is to try to replenish
I understand that moving a tank is very stressful and maybe this is a high percentage of the cause
How can I settle my tank
Ie ph ammonia nitrate readings ect
Any advise at all will be highly appreciated
Thanks guys

Welcome! Glad you joined. I relocated established tank last year, and despite relocating everything including most water, found tank really needed to be considered new tank because *I* had been out of hobby for a while and took humans a while to get tank stable enough for corals (fish only, I would have likely been okay a lot sooner). Eventually, I found my way, tank is doing great. I know this will be the same for you, too. Give yourself and your tank time. Learn and research. You will get there - keep us posted!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
