So I am upgrading a 55 gallon tank to a 180 gallon tank. The 180 is up and running, I was able to utilize maybe 20-25 gallons of water from the current tank. There is a small amount of live rock in there currently but will obviously be transferring all the rock I currently have. I just don’t want to stress the fish out and move the rock out before I’m ready to move them. I also have live sand in there.
anyways the 180 is up and running with 12 chromis. And I added the quick start bacteria.
my question for you is, how long would you suggest waiting before finalizing the transfer of all livestock. At what point would I be in the clear of an ammonia/nitrite spike.
I want to make the transfer as soon as possible but I do not want to do it prematurely.
Any thoughts?
note:it’s gonna be a FOWLER tank. Some soft corals will be transferred but nothing im concerned about.
