Hi all
I'm currently upgrading my tank from a 190L to a 450L FOWLR system.
I have added dry arka rock, dry sand and filled with salt water to roughly the same level as old tank.
I have added Dr Tims one and only to the tank to kick start the dry rocck and sand. My next step is to syphon water from old tank and use this to clean the live rock and place it in the new tank. I only use an external filter on my old tank but I will be taking out the media and also giving it a rinse and placing in somemesh bags in my new sump.
My question is.... Will this new tank be ready for me to add my livestock without experiencing any kid of ammonia spikes or the like which could kill my fish?
