Advice needed on Shifting to new tank

[nicreef]

Hi,

my tank is due to arrive next week. just wondering what is the best way for me to shift my current items to new tank? current items i need to move:

1 torch

2 hammer

10+ zoas

1 anemone

skimmer

posphate reactor

biopellet reactor

crushed corals

the new yeast product by polylab for nitrate control (not sure what name but rmb just saw a competition to guess what it is recently).

have been thinking that i should not shift till new tank finish cycling since different location but yet office small so feeling abit cram wan to clear space .....

after cycling of new tank, you should bag each coral individually (zip lock bags come handy) and transfer to new tank within 1-2 hours of bagging.

thereafter shift the equipment with priority to skimmer

You can only shift your corals only after cycling is complete although you can use some of the substrate medium, live rocks and water from the existing tank to seed the cycling to speed up the process.

Maybe you wanna shift ur LS to any of your fellow marine hobbyist's tank first? And get them after ur tank has stabilized? I am sure many fellow reefers here r willing to help too.

hmm forgot to say is same place. manage to plan it such that old tank and new tank can co exist in same time just that office dam messy and cram now.

Live rocks i took out all to dry except some but i will be shifting the crush corals over to the new sump (not all but ard 1/3). also have been seeding the polylab bipsphere(i think this is what it is) in my current tank.

Hmm sounds good if any one in west side near pandan loop area can help think i ask vincent later when he deliver my tank can put his place awhile not lol.

what the current tank size and new tank size?

Sorry some question on my mind now

Question 1: Since my tank no life stock liao only left the zoas LPS can my 2x1x1 tank last for a month without the sump?? Total ard 10 zoas 4 LPS and 1 anemone.

Question 2: New tank coming in today. Can i

1. Add DI water to fill tank, add salt and rely on wavemaker to mix the salt. At the same time add in rocks (dead one all sun dried or out of water for at least 2 days) and do my rockscape.

2. after 2-3 days, add live sand (new) and transfer crushed coral from current tank in, start skimmer and throw some of my expired fish food from reef nutrition in to start cycling.

Question 3: Biopellet and Rowaphos in Reactor - When should i introduce them to the new system? currently Rowaphos just nice old 1 used finish i just got a new bottle. reactor also wash clean clean liao. Biopellet thou i have not stopped yet (from what i understand when the movement of the pellet stop the bacteria start to die off??) as such i want to make the transfer for this fast so that once add in the biopellet are in work liao. Same thing applies for the polylab biosphere when should i transfer it over? after cycling end when NO3 is at its peak (than no need water change) or after the first water change bring NO3 down than add in or add in from the start of cycling?
