I am in desperate need of some solid advice. I say that because I have been given so many different views and advice on the right way to proceed with a tank swap. Here are the facts:
- I currently have a 32 gallon Biocube that is five years old and very stable.
- I have around 30lbs of live rock in the display.
- 6 months ago I put two full boxes of MarinePure spheres in the middle compartment in the back. I put these in two media bags so that they would be easy to remove. I added the spheres for the purpose of having a way of seeding a new tank with beneficial bacteria. (instant tank)
- I am wanting to transfer the coral (all softies/LPS) and livestock from the 32g Biocube to a new 20g Innovative Marine 20g NUVO tank.
- I have about 25lbs of dry Reefsaver Rock that I am wanting to put in the new IM Tank. I also have 2 x 20lb bags of Fiji Pink live sand.
Thanks so much for all of your help. If you know of any good articles on how to properly transfer a well established tank to a brand new tank, plese point me in the right direction. Thank you so much.
