mostly beginner corals are mushrooms, button polyps, leathers etc
intermediate are bubbles, brains, favites, plate corals, and some other LPS
The cycling period will speed up if you use back your old water. But if your water is contaminated with disease then should not use it..
I said you can keep your LS in the tub( with old water) or get another person to keep it for you during the cycling period.
This is what i did
UNPLUG ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCEs
1.) Get a big tub and drain out all the water.
2.) Put LR, corals and LS in the tub.
3.) take out all the sand put in a pail.
4.) transfer the sand, LR and water into the new tank
5.) can tompang ur LS to other people or kepe in the tub with filtration. change water weekly
