Hello, I have recently purchased a tank to upgrade from my 30 gallon tank to a 65 gallon tank. I just picked up the new tank and was just looking for any advise for the process. My previous tank had a canister filter and this one now has a sump so there will be some learning for me for sure before getting everything ready. I have an idea on what my process would be but any advise would be helpful. I plan to run both tanks at the same time for a bit to hopefully make for a smooth transition for my fish and corals.

I don't have any advise for actually moving the livestock.
For the sump/plumbing I'd say set the whole thing up in the garage or anywhere that can just drain out easily if you have a leak.

And no pictures of the new tank?
