I just moved all of my "stuff" from one tank to another. All the live rock went in and then some but I used new RO water and new sand seeded with a bit of my sand. Now my other tank had tons of pods in it, worms and baby mysis shrimp the sand bed was full of life. I didn't want to use the old sand though because I didn't want to risk stirring it all up. The old tank didn't have a sump, everything was HOB and no fuge.
The new tank has a wet/dry with some cheato in it and I will be adding a sump in the next coupld of days hopefully. So far when I look at the tank at night with a light I don't see any pods, well maybe a couple but not the hundreds like i did in the other tank. I do see my Manderin eat frozen Mysis everytime I put it in the tank but I know it would prefer pods. Also some of the baby Mysis are in the new tank, when I put a light on it at night with all the lights out the swarm around the flashlight beam.
So now that you have read a novel here is my question. Since my mandering eats forzen mysis will it survive going to the new tank while the pod poppulation builds up or should I bring it to the LFS....which might be a worse fate all together.
