Okay. Tank is 5m old. 1 year old rock.
New fish only about couple months old as my last batch got velvet and wiped out. The wrasses only remained
Debating a total restart or partial or keep going. Need opinions (I have all pests except nudibranchs & coral eating pests) so basic stuff that come without QT
Current livestock :
Regal tang, scopas, copperband, 4 chromis, 2 clowns, 2 wrasses
PLAN 1: Rip tank clean and bleach rocks to clear algae, aiptasia, and any pests
QT fish for 21d
QT coral (45d?) - 40/60breeder
1. Fallow in new tank with no rock and new water & HOB filter (pest-free)
2. IS IT SAFE TO TRANSFER ALL CORAL TO A BRAND NEW FRESH TANK WITH NO FISH DOSING NeoNitro & 20% weekly water changes (any advice on if I should nitrate dose)
Put clean rock and sand into DT and run for 30d no lights & no fish etc
Put fish on 30d and maybe turn on lights 30-60d in
My question is would it be dumb to restart a just now maturing tank ? Everything is running perfect but the pest and algae.
Tank has about every pest known to man and algae lol. I feel like I rushed my tank transfer..
Here was my tank
Jan. 50g cube
June (now) 100g 4ft
