upgrade: just add LR, fish, corals? How To?

Im finally there. I want to transfer everything from my 30 to my 75. Do I really just transfer over my LR, fish, and corals in one step? It scares me as I have never done such a thing..

thanks in advance

 

And that's why you keep two tanks!

I think there's an article about upgrading somewhere on this site....

 

When I set up my 75 I just tossed all my fish in with my live rock from the 30. The cycle wasn't even noticeable. There were no corals to add though, as they died during my move. Might want to keep the old tank up with the corals while the 75 establishes a bit, and add fish slowly.

Thanks Steve! I wasn't having any luck finding it.

 

Lol I did what above said... I have my 29G then I decided to upgrade to a 150g.. And then having the 2 already I decides to keep both lol and I could not be happier

 

Sort of, stay calm,;D fill buckets with the old tank water with corals, make sure they can't fight, and a separate bucket for fish. Keep them warm and aerate the fish bucket. Make sure parameters are the same. Transfer LR and aquascape, then corals then fish.

 

Thanks steve! just what I needed to see..

 

and thanks to everyone else.. Lets hope this goes smooth..

 

Good luck!! Are you starting tonight?!
