Transferring 125 gallon to 220 gallon

[pstergiou78]

Hello fish people! So this weekend I will be making the transfer of my 125 to a 220. In the the 125 I have 3 emporer 400s, and a marineland 220. The 220 has a sump, which I will be converting to a wet/dry. I will have to figure that out. So my main question is, do you think it will be ok to just put all the bio media from the canister, and the tank water rinsed filter pads just right in the wet/dry? I also plan on adding commerical beneficial bacteria to the water as well. There will be 100 gallons of new water, as I will use all the old water on the new tank. Suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance! [emoji6]

That's a nice size tank! Couldn't see any issues - how did it go?

Went well! Thank you! Only problem now is the bacterial bloom, which is expected. The ammonia slightly spiked to 0.25, which I am hoping will clear up. Will test again tomorrow. This is now day 2.
