Default HELP!!!!!

Hey everybody
Im doing a tank transfer right now and im wondering if i have to acclamate my live rock. Im going from a 55 to a 144 and im unsure if i should wait the hour and a half i usually do when acclimating my corals and fish. Im keeping all of the water from my 55 so im thinking of it as one big water change
Thanks in advanced
Brett

If salinity and temp are close between the two tanks there shouldn't be an issue, just swap it over. LR isn't sensitive like corals and fish. If you have corals stuck to the rock, you'll have to make the call whether to wait but really all you're acclimating for it temperature and salinity, which should already be close.

Good luck! I start my swap tomorrow, so I'm right there with ya!
