I plan on picking up my main tank this next weekend. Its a 110 with 40g sump. I will be setting it up empty and before Christmas I'm picking up a 90g system that's been running 5ish?? years.
I want to add more live rock to the new tank before I bring the water and sand in. I want to try to keep the sand and everything from the running tank so I don't restart the cycle. I've been told not to agitate the sand too much or it will realease polutants and kill everything. Do I buy all new sand and just use some of the live sand from the running tank?
There's a lot of hair algae in the tank now, I was told I can scrub and just peel a lot of it off before putting it back in at my house.
I'm probably leaving a lot out but I want to try to get some more pointers. I will get pics up after new tank is home, probably early next week.
