When I have moved things from one tank to another , I also transfer all the water and substrate. ie. 75g to 150g would be the same as doing a 50% water change. If the water is to cloudy ,I'll leave the fish in a smaller tank overnite and any corals I might be worried about.You can introduce new rock after it has cured .I have done this several times without any problems.

I just went through a major move, the tank overfloed and a small electrical fire occurred. But with saving about 50 % of the original water and help fom a great friend we moved the tank and corrals that were doing ok and are doing ok, I think the secret is to keep as much of the original tank water as possible and things should be ok.

You don't need to do a little at a time......I went from my 77G to my 230G...just used all my water from the 77 and put it in the 230 then through all my corals and fish in at the same time....lost nothing!!!


Are the lights different then the previous.....higher wattage, different spectrum.......they could have died do to shock from an increase in light!!!
