[scs88]

hi guys

i going to upgrade from a 3 ft to a 4 ft tank

However i haf some q in mind

I wana noe when the new tank comes, can i just add sand, new NSW and then transfer all the live rocks immediately to the new tank?

I wana noe how long do i need to cycle the tank? or i can immediately add my current LS to the new tank?

the current life rocks have been in my tank for ard 6 mths...

Hrmz, imo...no matter how "cycled" your LRs are, a mini cycle will still start during the transfer. The LRs, sand can go immediately into the new tank with NSW but for LS and corals, i'll suggest waiting for abit and make sure your water parameters are ok before transferring them over. Btw, why not make a jump and upgrade to a 5 footer instead. 3 to 4 like not much diff. Just my own opinion...

Hi bro

Not to encourage you or be contrary of what bro QX said...

When I upgraded to my 3ft, I transfered almost everything in a day. The LR and the LS that is. I bought new sand, so I added the sand a week earlier, let the tank ran for a week (without chiller and blah, coz still connected to my Nano). Once the water condition is quite similar to my Nano, I just moved everything over within hours.

I took a big risk then... but luckily no casualty
