Hi all,
Relatively still new to the hobby. The R2R family was great to me when I was starting up my Biocube 32 back in Jan '21. Amazing show of support and tons of great advice ...but I need you again! I pulled the trigger on a Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe ( 73 gal). I am going to try to set it all up this weekend. I was told by my LFS that I could just transfer all my fish, rock and softies over to the bigger tank as long as I got the temp, PH and salinity in the 73-gal as close to the current readings on the Biocube 32 as possible. In other words, I did not have to wait to cycle the big tank. Just move stuff in and that the bio filter on my rocks, chaeto and exisiting bio balls would kick start bio-filtration in the bigger tank. They told me that clean, new salt water with the new sump, and protein skimmer would make for a seamless transfer. What about acclimation for the fish and corals? Thoughts, advice, confirmations please ??!
