One thing I've had success doing is having BOTH tanks full of water. (I guess the amount of water for the new tank as the rock I add will displace it.) I'll then start to mix the two waters together. I take about 1/2 a gallon from one and add to the other and vice versa. Do this for most of the day and when it is within an hour or so of normal lights out time, start to move the livestock across. This way, they will be acclimated to your water already and have the night to get used to the tank in the dark to reduce stress. Hope this helps!
