Tank upgrade

[Toolman]

Getting out of my 12 gallon Aquapod and into a 28 gallon JBJ can I just switch everything over or should I cycle the new tank first and then switch? Can't stand any loss of life so I want to do it right...How much total rock should I have? I was going with 20 Lbs. live sand and build up from there. Should I use the middle rear as a refugium? And with two discharges where in the heck should I put the skimmer? Is this more then a weekend project? Am I nuts for trying this? My fish and seahorse need new digs

You can just transfer everything over...shouldn't be a problem, and it shouldn't take a full weekend...lol

I would wait until you have at least a 3 day weekend ahead of you. Do you have any vacation time you could take from work? :mrgreen: :lol:

 

[Toolman]

so there will be no danger to livestock by switching just the rock and adding "live water"? what about the refugium and protine skimmer

Shouldnt bother any of your animals.
