I am going to use new sand as my sandbed was used before and not very nice. Going to go with a very thin layer of the sugar like white sand.

I am going to try and bring over at least 90gals of water from the old tank to the new. I went to walmart and go 30gal rubbermaid tubs to transport the water in.

I have lots of bags and styrofoam boxes to transport the fish and corals in.

UHG I will be so happy when this is all done.

Only half fill the rubbermaid containers. They bend and bow out at the top lip. I used one as a quarantine tank once and the lip tore after 1 day of use.

Also I would transport the fish in the containers as well rather than in bags. Less stress and better temperature stability.

I would also sell some of your equipment. Technology changes over the years and you may want the new LED or the new Vortech pump and if you try to sell your outdated stuff years from now you will not get much for it. Certain things don't change much so keep those, but anything techno, I would try to sell now as well.

I will be keeping my equipment for my new tank I am setting it up right away.:)
