Tank Upgrade....
So today I was bored at work and stumpled across a 90 gallon tank with a cherry wood cabinet. It is stunning. So what did I do, I bought it. I am going to be picking it up today after work and upgrade my 55 to the 90. What did I get myself into now. DOH. I just got all my rocks aquaspaced the other day and got attacked by my little clown fish, now I have to do it all over again. The biggest problem I face is that I want to put the 90 right where is 55 is. This should be fun.

Re: Tank Upgrade....
it is easy just use coolers for your rock and water an a bucket for the fish. keep all the water if you can and then swap tanks sand and fill er up i have done it a couple times.

Re: Tank Upgrade....
Should I use the same sand or should i buy new sand and then seed it with a couple cups of the sand currently in the tank. Another question is how do I get the snails in the sand bed. The narsscius or how ever you spell it. I am going to make a mess

Re: Tank Upgrade....
i would just use the sand you have and add some more to it on the bottom just add the new sans first. thats what i would do but some people add all new sand and just use a couple cups of the old.
