Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi All: Just signed up yesterday-I'm not the brightest when it comes to figuring out this forum--OK I have a 55 gal. reef (full), Rena canister filter, and BakPak 2 skimmer. I got a 125 gal. for Christmas with ecosystem-- already collecting RO water for it--any advice out there on the transfer from my 55 gal. to the 125!!! Should I move everything at once or should I fill the 125 and add some new bags of live sand and partially cured live rock and let it cycle first and then move everybody from the 55 gal.?!?! If I move all at once and add my stored RO salt water and put bio stuff from the 55 gal. into my ecosystem I'm thinking I won't have any cycle like a new tank? Right?!?! I realize I can't add live rock unless it's fully cured. Does live sand from the bags go through a cycle when first put in a tank due to some dieoff? Just started this 1 year ago with my 55 gal.--love it but still learning. Any thought?!!!!!! Cindy6
