So, I'm going to be moving all of the inhabitants and corals from my 46 into a 125 across the room. I have the 125 set-up now and I am currently filling with Ro/DI to run the system for a day or so rinsing the sand and tank of contaminants then I will drain and re-fill.
Basically whats the best way to start up the new tank? Should I just move everything over into the 125 at once and expect that there will not be a cycle because everything is already going in the 46 or should I set it up like a new tank allowing it to cycle and all that?
Also I set up the 46 with a 6" DSB in the display. I will be running a RDSB on the 125 in a 29 gallon tank in the stand under the main tank. After moving the fish and corals over to the new tank I planned on making the 46 into an single sargassum angler tank. Just wondering if I should remove the DSB from that tank. I planned on moving some of the sand to seed the sand in the new tank.
