Move to a new 10g

[Beverly]

If you are going with no sandbed, then just move some of the existing water to the new tank, move the rock and corals, then the rest of the water and top up to the water level to where you want it. Can be done in a few hours.

Moving the sandbed is where you're going to get a cloudy tank for a few days, and the process should start with moving the sandbed, imo. As you stir up the sandbed, you will get cloudy water from detritus and particulate sand particles, and possibly toxic gases from anaerobic bacteria from your sandbed. You will need heated, aerated containers to hold livestock during the sandbed move. You might also want to clean the sandbed by rinsing it in saltwater, or start over with a new sandbed.
