Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / January 2005tank conversion
I was wondering how hard it is going to be to convert my 29 g saltwater tank over to my new 55g tank. I just purchased a bigger tank and was wondering if people had some tips on how top transfer my 29g tank over without killing anything? Any pointers would be a great help. Can I do the transfer in one day? Yes, it can be moved in a day. How old is the substrate in the 29g now? If it is under 6 months old, you can move that to the new tank. If it is older, it would be better to set up new sand and take a couple of cups of the current substrate to seed the new tank. Move over all the same water, LR and creatures, and add more saltwater that was mixed for 24 hours, matching temperature and salinity exactly. If you want to read the gory details of how I transferred my 29g and 55g to my 280g, here is the lengthy thread on Reef Central. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=3198801#post3198801 Feel free to skip ahead to Day 13, probably around page 26?
