I've never upgraded tanks before, so I'm a little unsure how to proceed with the order of adding the old livestock to the new tank versus adding new livestock to the new tank.
Current tank:
40 breeder
2 ocellaris clowns
solonensis wrasse
melanurus wrasse
Kole tang
New tank:
150 gallon (5'x2'x2') + 75 gallon sump
Looking to add a bottom dweller (watchman goby?), a few anthias, a few more wrasses, and maybe another tang.
My melanurus wrasse is pretty aggressive toward new wrasse additions (I tried to get a yellow wrasse, and had to remove the new wrasse to save its life). I also already have the tang.
Would it be best to get the new tank set up and add the more peaceful new fish before adding some of the old fish? Do I need to add another tang to the tank at the same time as adding my old tang? Any suggestions on which wrasses and tang would be a good fit? I would like to keep both tanks up for as short of a time as possible, but also don't want to overload the new system or cause any fish deaths from aggression.
