transfer

Hi all, I recently set up a new 30 gallon reef tank and am trying to figure out what to do. For some background, I have a 13.5 which I bought a rock that had 3 awesome nems on and placed it in my tank knowing the previous owner had dinos. This sparked the dinos in my 13.5 which I have recently...

Hi everyone! We are Eugene and Dasha. Unfortunately, we haven’t had the chance to create our built threads yet, but hopefully with this thread we’ll be able to achieve that too… My husband and I have 3 tanks set up at the moment, my husband’s first tank, a Reefer Max C 250 (65gal), my old...

So I am starting up a new 22 gallon tank and planning on bringing my clowns and inverts over from my Fluval 13.5. Problem is the 13.5 has been showing signs of slight dinos from a rock that I had recently added to the tank after buying some anemones. I would love to move the anemones to the new...

So I will be doing a tank transfer and I would like to know what you all think is the best and safest way to do this. What I need to do is move my 32 biocube from its current spot so that the new 40 Breeder can go in its place. Then I need to transfer my 32cube inhabits to the 40B. My wife...

So I'm upgrading from a 60g to a 120g Obviously I will be needing more water to fill it up and I plan to use most of my old water and of course my rocks, coral, and fish and new sand . My only debate is I have to make water but I can't make it all at once and it is a slow process. My plan is...

Hello all, I am finally ready to move my remaining livestock to a larger tank. I have two RBTA’s that I need to move, but the rocks they are on are covered in stuff I don’t want in my new tank. Lots of algae, haven’t seen any Aiptasia yet. How do I move them? Do I try to remove them from the...

Hi All, I decided to upgrade my set up and will be moving everything from my 20g breeder into a 20g AIO Peninsula tank when it arrives. I am hoping to get your advice on the best way to go about this transfer so I can hopefully avoid kicking off another cycle? Do you recommend supplementing...

Hi, I am upgrading from a 20gallon long AIO to a 30gallon long AIO. I was wondering what the protocol on this was, mainly focusing on if I should keep the old sand or not. I have vacuumed the sand for a deep clean the last 2 days, but is it wiser to just use completely new fiji pink in the new...

I have a 15 gallon nano tank that I have had running for a while now but I am starting to get concerned about the condition of the seals. One of the silicone edges has a rather large bubble in it. Because of this I am thinking of buying a fluval Evo tank to transfer into. I have taken all of my...

So I ordered a new nano tank during these weekend sales which I plan on using as a spot to separate out my softies and some LPS from my main system. I've had media sitting in the current system (a Nuvo 40 Fusion) that I plan to use in the new nano, and I'll be transferring the softies I have...

I just started cycling my new tank. So i have some time before this all good down, but I’m trying to get my ducks in a row. I currently have a 75 gal bow, 4ft wide running 2 radion xr30s. New tank is a 24” cube which will get one of the radions. Initially the 75gal tank came with a orbit marine...

I will be transferring livestock from one tank to another this weekend, and would like to know a good method for finding all my invert creatures to safely move them. As you know, they hide in the rock work, but I will not be transferring the existing rock, so they need to come out of their...

So I'm currently taking over a tank from a friend. Using all of his live rock and some water but decided to use new sand. The sand too longer than expected to arrive. When it got here, I realized it was LIVE sand when I wanted dry sand so that I could wash it. He's dropping off everything today...

Guys, I know there are lots of threads out there on this topic but everybody seems to have different opinions (as most of things on this hobby :D )... I'm just throwing my thoughts out there and looking for your input.. any help is greatly appreciated! I have an established (about 7 months old)...

This is the thread for my new 20 gallon SPS/LPS reef. It is an upgrade of my 7.5 gallon SPS/LPS borderline pico/nano found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/7-5-gallon-bow-front-sps-lps.309229/ As you can see it is fairly crowded... The first thing I will do in this thread is...

So this Black Friday I purchased a Nuvo 10 for about $50(Aquacave rocks!) and I want to transfer everything from my Nuvo 8. I just don't know if the process would go smoothly if I carefully transfer the sand without much stirring or ditch it all together.

I will be moving my fish/coral from my 125 to my 93 cube. 93 cube has been up and running for over a month. I used 50% old water from the 125 and 50% new water. 93 cube has new lighting , dead rock, & sand. What is the safest way to transfer fish and coral? What is the best way to keep cyano...
