setting up a new tank :)

[saltyfins]

I just want to be sure..... I am taking down a red sea 170, and setting up a new red sea .... new sand, water and using the old rock from transfer tank. I should be fine, to do this and add the fish and a few of the corals, correct? LPS corals. and a change of about 20 extra gallons. Not sure if I should add bacteria and wait a bit, because it's been a while since I've done this. any help would be appreciated. Not in a hurry, this tank sat empty in my living room, for a month.

Thanks guys :)

Yes, as long as you move the rock over, the fish will be fine in the new tank. I don't dose bacteria but I guess it can't hurt, but I've done it enough times to have complete confidence.

Yup agreed with Mr. Mojo. You'll be just fine with the old rock moving over. You can add Fritz Turbo start 900 as an insurance policy if it'll ease your mind.

That’s how I’m doing it currently.

OK, that's pretty much how I thought I did it in the past...Just been a bit is all :)

so anything for this? I am using RC salt, and my DKH is 9.5 (too high for me) but the salinity is coming it at 20-21.

So how do I deal with this? so weird, I do not remember having this issue ever before

Salinity is too low, dkh is in range. I believe RC does have high Alk
