I was wondering how I should move my 20g long into my 75g? I have the following in the 20g, livestock wise
about 50 lbs of HA covered rock (am going to clean)
about 40 lbs of well astablished sand (which I want to add to the new tank)
2 ocellaris clowns
1 scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp
1 small ball of chaeto
about 3 hermits
5 astrea snails
3 small zoa frags
2 small zoa colonies
2 small birds nest (SPS) frags
small candy cane frag
two headed frogspawn

I want to make sure that everything makes the move, and am worried about it. my plan is to add the rock and sand in tomorrow or thurs. and keep all of my fishes in a holding tank (I have the choices of a 10g, a 15ish gal. rubbermaid container or a 5.5g, the 5.5g I would rather not use because my little betta is in it and I dont want to disturb his home). any help would be greaty appreciated!

Im assuming you have upgraded equipment. I would add the differance in LR and substrate and then seed with some LR in your other tank. Then let it cycle before adding any stock then i would add in 3 or 4 weeks letting the new tank adjust.
