I have a 40 breeder and I am setting up a 120. Can I take my rock fish and 3 corals I have in the 40 breeder and put them in the 120 and add sand later? I am almost finished with the drilling and such but I want to use black sand and it will about a month before I can get it. Is it possible to add 120 lbs of sand to a take with fish? YouTube doesn't have what I am asking so whay do I do?
 
Awsome thanks. That works with l8ve sand with the water in the bag also right?
 
I just got done with a sand change I tried a new method it seemed to work flawlessly .
cut top off bag than slowly lay bag on side as sinking to bottom of tank it will slowly fill with water . than lift corner of bag and dump slowly I didn't get the slightest sand storm or cloud .
if your going black be sure it's black I ordered Hawaiian midnight black , so I was expecting black It was more a mix of black and white , it makes the sand bed look really dirty , you can see sand isn't black so after the holiday's I plan on changing out mine again . so be very careful when you pick out sand my mistake was I went by a tiny patch on a web site it looked black. now I intend on buying it local so I can see it before hand. so be aware black isn't always black as I found out.
