Hi All,
I am preparing to upgrade from a 29 gallon tank to a 75 gallon tank. The existing tank is just about a year old and has 2 clowns a shrimp and chromis plus a bubble tip anemone, hammer coral, some zoa's and mushrooms. I want to make sure the transition is as gentle as possible to keep from losing anything. I want to eventually use the 29 gallon tank as a sump for the new tank, but will not do so right away. My questions are should I use all new sand or transfer the existing sand and add more? Also I will need more rock and wasn't sure if I should let it cure on it's own or add it to the existing tank to get a jump before placing it in the new tank? Feel like a beginner all over again.....
Thanks,
Brian
