sand help!!!

ok i need a definate answer being how i would do this very sooN!!!!


i have 100 pounds of sand in my 55 tank, should i clean it with fresh R.O. water and then after it doesnt smell of death anymore put it into the 135, or can i just scope it out and put it in the 135/????

 

is the 55 still up and running and if so what are you doing with the fish in there while you switch everything?

 

scoop it out and put it in, unless it's extremely dirty.

 

yes the 55 is still running, it will be until the 135 is completely cycled, it looks really clean,

teh fish and corals are all still in there.

 

Nemo you need to slow down and fix the problems you're having now, before you go and do anything else. You're going to be wasting a lot of money and killing a lot of helpless critters.

 

what?


i am keeping everything running while the 135 cycles, everything will be in the 55 gallon tank? how would that kill everything?

 

Im going to let somebody else answer that for me.

 

Okay Geek, I was in the process anyways so I will do it....

Or.... well I think you get the Idea, fix the problems first or your just going to take them from one tank and put them into the other!

 

Look I seldom just say out of the way stuff to people on the computer or phone , But if you where standing right here with me I'd say this to you , Hoss you have ignored and blew off more help and good solid advice then I could remember even if I wanted or tried too. From day one you have totally ignored any good advice anyone here ever offered you , From the Moorish Idol to the carpet anemone to well you know the laundry list , You now have a 55 gallon mess that you want to turn into a 135 gallon mess , I hate to see you just keep killing your animals and wasting your money and watching the questions ..

I think if you could not fix the problems in the 55 then what do you expect from a 135 ? Its like saying hey I can't drive a automatic Pick up truck but man turn me loose and a semi Peter Built and I'll show you what i can do .
I'd suggest that you study up on the simple basics and get though the elementary portion of the program before trying to get the graduation diploma . Now if you want to get a tank healthy and settled I'll help you but it won't be in the public form P/M me and I'll help you get it sorted out buddy . Its very simple really and it easy to do people make it difficult .

I offered and I'm sure others here would do the same But you have to slow down and take some advice and so some patience thats what most often needed and least added to any Marine aquarium. And save yourself money time greif and animals .. hell I'll eat fish but I won't just kill them.

Don't think i jumping at you but I think you needed to hear it straight up..My offer is good anytime you feel you want to try it ..
