Default Best way to move tanks?

Hi everyone,

My plumbing is nearly done, so I'm about ready to move all the current inhabitants and sand from my 29G to my 37G. Anyone have any tips? I want to use the same sump too so I'm not going to completely clean the sump out.

What's the best way to transfer all the inhabitants (including a BTA) to a new tank with new lighting?

Thanks.

add the DSB if ya have one \

make around half of new water and add half of the old water
then add the water slowly and then, you will have enough waster to let the corals and the fish to live in test the water in the tnak ,in a couple of hours and put in the rest of the fixins
that is what i did and had no problems..

Mike
