Well I asked the fish what they would like and they said quick and painless.

The biggest shock goes to the erasers who were dug out ofcthe sand dropped into a dark box, buried in sand to wake up in an oasis;)

Denny would your new tank have to cycle since no old water is used?

haha dude you should see my acclimation procedure for new fish , basically open bag grab fish with hand and toss in tank, ten mins later fish is good to go lol

no die off equals no cycle, i was gonna use some of the water but my water parameters were exactly the same except for phops so i figured the corals would love the cleaner water:)

****** disclaimer- im an idiot and dont do as i do , i know very little about anything and rely purely on luck;) ****

my roomate calls it the denny acclimation procedure lol ....tried tested and true;)

heres my transfer method

a)fill tank with salt water

b) lift tree from old tank

c) drop tree in new tank

d) have cold beer

fish and corals are all happy the tree got a 100% water change. the fish are loving the extra room and the wrasses are loving the socialization , all were up and out this morning:0

now i need more coral lol

pics coming later:)

Now that's my kind of transfer. I've done the same from my nano to my 67gal. Lol
