i have one question for you,,,do you reused all your water or some of it,,,or did you have new water in new tank for a while,,,
thanks
how di d you do it?/
The new tank had been setup for about a week using LS and and about 100lb of fully cured LR from one of my existing tanks. I tested water each day and there were no major changes, I also added some basic corals to see if there were any problems. Over the last week all corals were healthy and eating with good polyp extension. The plan was to use the other 400lbs of LR from the existing tank so that I wouldn't have a cycle, this was accomplished by transporting the other 400lbs of LR and corals in 5g buckets so that there was no or minimal die off. I don't expect a cycle in the tank as I'm using healthy LR from an existing tank. I've used this method before and it's worked perfect everytime
