I got paid from my mini split install for my coral guy in cash and coral…. Got this indo gold. Or 24k. Either way I like it. Only been in the 65 gallon for a couple hours now. Also got a nice Goni but it’s all closed up

Sweet!I got paid from my mini split install for my coral guy in cash and coral…. Got this indo gold. Or 24k. Either way I like it. Only been in the 65 gallon for a couple hours now. Also got a nice Goni but it’s all closed up
He usually has some nice stuff he sells on Facebook. I grabbed this acan not too long ago for $20Sweet!
Yeah, I completely feel your dilemma. I say pull the trigger. It will plus up your biological filter in the new system and seed the sterile rock. Plus, it will give life, color, and movement to the new system. This will also allow you to sell the 65 gal faster, enabling you to get the new lighting and purchase a small army of bumble bees. There may be loss either way, so be prepared. As always, this advice comes with risk, and you should exercise caution if following it. I don't want to be burned at the stake if it goes south, but like I said: If it were me, I'd pull the trigger.I’m really trying to weigh the pros and cons of just competing a transfer from my 65 gallon into the 180.
The end game is to get everything in there anyway, but I’m limited on what I feel comfortable moving. This is because some acros and etc have encrusted rocks, limited funds for new lights so I plan to use my reefbreeders 48” and add to it once I get the 65 gallon sold.
I feel like My chances of keeping and loosing coral is about the same either way. With a full transfer or going slow. On the plus side, half the 180 would be stocked with 2 year old rock covered in coraline and corals. Currently the 180 is all new dry rock.
there are too many to count very tiny vermited snails on the rocks but I just feel it’s inevitable I get them again since I’m moving all the livestock over at some point. I plan to add a bunch of bumblebee snails.
I tend to agree but just in case..Yeah, I completely feel your dilemma. I say pull the trigger. It will plus up your biological filter in the new system and seed the sterile rock.

You got this!Well it’s 9:40 pm here but the family is getting ready to call it a night (I hope!) and mine is getting ready to start. Going to move everything from the waterbox 65 over to the new 180.
I’m not going to rearrange the corals or anything…. They are mostly on 2 main rock structures. So my scape is going to be off for a bit, but maybe after things settle in I can move some coral around this weekend.
Wish me luck.
Looking good!It’s not quite 24 hrs later but everything looks pretty good all in all. The leathers are ticked off and some zoas are not full but the acros look as good as they did, the fish have so much more room and my monster Mexican turbo snails don’t look as big
I tested all the parameters tonight after work and things are not too bad.
I’m just glad the stressfull part is over!! Now I just need to do the work part by cleaning up the old tank…Looking good!
Stunning!Thought I’d update. Tanks been running after the full transfer now for two weeks. The clarisea sk5000 gen 2 is awesome. The skimmer is doing it’s thing well and no coral deaths or livestock at all for that matter.
I do have diatoms on the sand and rock and glass but nothing horrible.
I feel like the gyres are satisfactory for now. I’m still trying to dial in the flow I like.
I did pick up a used reefbreeders photon v2 24” with the nexus upgrade already done this past weekend. I plan to fit it next to my current 48” and hang them hopefully this weekend.
