Hi everyone,
I would like your advice on my new tank.
I'm upgrading from a 12gal to a 25gal tank. Tank has been running for 3 days with live rock with a good amount of coralline growth, dry sand which i have seeded with 1/2 a cup of the old sand, fresh salt water. Ammonia and nitrites are 0
My question is whether I can start moving my livestock over to the new tank. My lfs has given me mixed advice which has been confusing. Some say after 1 week, others 3-4 weeks, and others say I can start adding cause i'm using live rock.
I have tried to do some research but most answer are based on using a combination of dryrock/dry sand or live sand/live rock. Whereas I have gone with using live rock and dry sand.
Is there going to be a mini cycle eventually? Should I add food to feed the bacteria?
Ive also noticed some colonies of zoas on my live rock and they seem to be doing well in addition to a couple of cleaners that have hitched hiked there way to my new tank. I'm not sure what to do...
Can anyone help please?
thanks
