RAV-65 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Get a huge tub, transfering everything in your tank into the tub, dat includes the water from your main tank.... and also liverocks... Important to note, if you have a DSB in your old tank now, make sure it's not disturbed, else everything will be killed! Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

SRC Member Reefbum Posted November 28, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 28, 2004 Bro, looks like you got no choice but to take everything apart for the old tank and set up your new tank.As for your LS, either you placed them in a big tub or 'tumpang' with other reefers till your new tank is all cycled properly.

RAV-65 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 so i transfer everything into a spare tank? tat is excluding the DSB?...u mean i cannot touch the sand? or can i put the sand into my new tank? cheers If you have a DSB in your current tank, u have to remove all your LS and corals before disturbing it, if not, none of it would survive...
