RSR 250 Upgrade - Rocks old and new

[PiscesPower]

Ok my new RSR 250 is at about 45 gallons of new saltwater. Time to add some rock I think.

Got a bunch of new, cured rock today from LFS. Adding that, then sand, seems like a no brainer, I have a goby/pistol shrimp pair who have build underground tunnels so I want to put base rock down first. HOWEVER...one of the rocks I want on the bottom, actually as a stand alone piece, has some of my fav corals on it in my current tank; Duncan, Hammer, acans etc...no sps, just LPS and some zoas.

Not sure when to put that in the tank.

Do I just wait until I am ready to move livestock and try to clear a spot on the bottom for it?

So confused right now. It's like an algebra problem where I don't know the order of operations. :confused:

You could take all the corals off, pull it out of your current tank and put it in your new tank. In the meantime you can put the corals on a frag rack or just on another rock.
