210 G Move ASAP answer

[Justusfish]

Hi, folks:

I have moved a 210 G tank from the previous owner's to my house and presently have the rock and fish in a 65 gallon drum with a power head and heater going.

Question is, once I fill the tank and add the salt, how long before I can put the rock and fish in?

I will also be using the 65 gallons of old water as well.

I figured once I let the new water cure long enough (which I have no idea how long that would be) I'd start doing small exchanges of water between the large tank and drum until the fish were acclimated and then start transferring them in.


I REALLY need some advice on this procedure so I don't kill any of these big beautiful fish.
