Changing of fish tank

[zodiac]

Anyone here can advise on how to change a marine tank? I have a 4x2x1.5 and would like to change to 4x2x2.5. How to shift the tank? I would like it to be back at the same position my current tank is.

When i change the tank, do i need to move all water and sand over as well?

Do i need to re-cycle my tank?

Please advise.

yap...u need to recycle ur new tank.....but use the old filter media so the cycle will be short.

first, u put all ur LS and corals in a temporary storage........once done, shift ur old tank and put ur new tank. run the new tank and once it matures, slowly stock from your temporary storage.

but, be prepare to loose some LS......i lost @ 40% during this process.

i extremely tedious process... rest well first

list down the steps that u need to take before engaging the project..

as yer new tank is 2.5 feet deep, u might wanna arrange yer liverocks first before putting the saltwater in...

best if u use back yer old sand as its live

saltwater can use new one or old one, doesnt really matter

good luck!

Alternatively, you can either put your LS into your friend tank or sell all your live stock first. Once your new tank is cycled, get them back or buy new one.
