The title says it all really! I'm moving from my current 200L non-sump using a HOB filter to a Cleair 650L sumped system.

Current fish are Yellow Tang, Koran Angel, Fire Angel, Coral Beauty, Clown, Sand Sifting Goby and Blue Damsel.

Any tips on CUC and best practices for the larger tank? Smaller tank will be retained for a QT tank and perhaps a breeding pair of clowns.

*edit: just to clarify, all fish are in the larger tank, most came with it.

Welcome th R2R!

Not messing around with the upgrade I see. Awesome.

The scale of your WCs will be a bit different. If you've not already set up your RODI, that would be next up on my list.

Glad to have you around here. New show us some PICTURES!

Welcome to R2R! Just take it slow, research, research, research. The patient reefer is rewarded greatly. If you haven’t there is a great supreme guide by @revtree here it’s a good read.
