Guess what! UPGRADE TIME

[mrhasan]

Tank has cleared up well So I am a bit confused about something. I have 30+ pound of LR (cured) sitting in a bucket and I will also be using 20+ lb of LR in my tank. Can I put the new LR in today and then put the old rocks tomorrow? And how long can I keep the corals in a bucket without any issue?

Much better now Hoping that it would clear up by the night so that I can do the move tomorrow.




Oh look a dino rock!!!!!!!!

Yeah you can add the rock when you like just be sure temp and salinity is good.

A heater and a small power head will allow you lots of time. Just consider how long it takes to ship a coral from South Pacific to Canada. I imagine your transferring the tank in one day?

One mistake I made on a previous transfer was that I put acros on frag rack while I should have taken them out before I system moving rock and sand. The ammonia and H2S killed all my deep waters.

Sorry to hear about that I will be sucking up some water from 20 gallon, transfer the corals and fishes and then will move the rock since I also have an experience of nitrate spike when I stirred the sand once.

Removed the light from the 20 gallon and turned it on over the 70 gallon. Gives a much better spread But I doubt whether these will be enough for the corals. Possibly will add two more T5s

Y not put the fish and coral in a tote until you get the rock in. That way there's no chance of dropping rock on coral or stress the fish more than needed.

Less clutter to work around too
