Finished cycling my new 120. Used dry rock and dry sand. Added bio spira and cycled for 2 months. Also added live rock from current tank.

Is it safe to add all my fish and coral to the new tank. Should I go slow and add one fish at a time as well as my sps and lps. ???

Ammonia is 0 and has been for a while?

(and you are still feeding the tank???)

You have fish an coral in another tank? If it is many fish, you may want to 'over feed' the tank a couple times to make sure it handles the nutrient intake before throwing in a bunch of fish. What is the situation exactly?

I would stay way from SPS and anemones for a few more months; but if you already have them, then you are safe to add them. You may need to feed the more advanced corals for a short while...

When I upgrade from a 65 to a 220, I had a couple SPS, and several LPS, as well as a couple anemones. I made sure to spot feed them mysis and spirilina brine a couple times a week...

Had my ammonia spike and back to zero. I’ve been ghost feeding and it seems to handle any ammonia.

Currently have an established 75 with 3 clowns, yellow and hippo tang and a coral beauty. 4 nems. Sps and lps coral.

Just want to take it slow and not kill anything

Fishes should be ok, so you is lps. Still be cautious and add them slowly. Sps I’ll hold on.

Agreed, if you can slowly move the livestock over the next six months, that would be idea. Keep in mind to spot feed corals and nems for a while!

The tank looks great, BTW!

Thanks. Appreciate all the input
