Hello,
So my wife and I started a 30 gallon tank back in September. All my parameters are good. We had a 55 gal tank just sitting around so we decided to move everything to the bigger tank.
Currently everything is living in the 30 gallon.
In the 55 I have it about a little over halfway filled with RO from the LFS and home mixed saltwater. We have that fancy BS water to the house so just about all the chemicals are removed from it. I also have a Fluval 307 that was brand new that was going to be used for a 90 gal freshwater, but I wound up getting a different setup for that. I know people think that canisters are Nitrate factories. One day I may setup a sump. Thats just more than I want to toss at this right this moment. I also put down some new dry sand.
The question is, when should I start moving the live rock and sand from the 30 gal to the 55 gal? Should I let the 55 cycle before I do anything with the live rock?
