So after several years of reefing, it’s finally time for me to upgrade!

I started off with a 36 gallon bow tank and a DIY 20 gallon sump which I had for 4 years now.

I came across a deal, so I’ll be upgrading to a Waterbox 130.4! For the most part, allot of my equipment can be moved over. But I would like to move over my livestock. I wish it was as easy to just move things over, but I’m dealing with red flatworms.

I’m thinking I can easily move the fish over once I’m done with my mini cycle, but how do I go about treating the rock and coral?

I’m thinking of a dip of flatworm exit, then into a fresh batch of SW. But should I do that several times before officially moving them over?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I would just use flatworm exit, its so easy and safe, and will solve the problem almost immediately.
