So i am planning on moving my tank here in a couple weeks and just wanted to get some thoughts on what the best way is to go about doing this.
For starters i am thinking i am going to be moving all my fish and inverts and a 100 pounds of LR into a 55 gallon tank that i have laying around during the move. I plan on hooking my sump put to it so i will have filtration during the week or so the fish will be in the 55. I plan on making a couple upgrades to the stand hence the reason for the week or so.
What i am really wondering is when i actually have to move the 75 can i leave the 80 pounds of sand in the tank with out it breaking or wrecking the tank? I am thinking about rinsing all the sand out any thoughts on that? I really don't want to have to go though another cycle but if it happens it happens.
Also can I or should i reuse the water from one tank to another?
I have never done this and it truly kind of scares me cause i don't want to destroy everything so any and all tips are welcome.
