Moving Advice 5 year old tank

[WarDog]

You have 2 choices really.

1) Move to your new place and do nothing. Reuse substrate and rescape existing algae/aiptasia rock. During which, praying that your old substrate doesn't cause a tank crash.

2) Move into new place, setting up a holding tank for your limited livestock. Finish floors upstairs, at which time you can be bathing and cleaning infested rock. Bleach/acid/baking soda $30. Set up tank in final location and add $100 of lovely, new, clean substrate. Cycle tank then reintroduce livestock.

Personally I would choose option 2, for peace of mind. I understand owning a house makes one broke... but so does our addiction.
