I'm not overly worried about the move. It is something I have to do for maintenance and budget issues. I can't afford to properly manage two tanks ("properly" for me includes chillers and controllers). I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the existing sandbed. It does have a population of largish amphipods that I don't want to lose, but it is a very young sandbed.
I shut one tank down when temperatures spiked in it and I purchased a chiller for the other tank. I moved the residents into the tank with the chiller (25 gallon system: 10g in the display and 15g in the sump and refugium). This leaves me overstocked at present, so we're in a mad panic to get the new display done. The parameters are presently good on the system, but if we leave it too long it will all go to hell. The five fish are basically babies .75" to 1.5", with the Goby being the largest by a 1/2 inch.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I will try it twice a week for now.
