![]() Many thanks for the quick replies and PMs, folks. Diana had a good point about why I'm hearing different answers and it helps me clarify how I'll approach this tank transfer/move.

![]() Sorry about the confusion. Most of my answer was based on the fact that I thought the rock had been out of the water for some time.
If there is no die off then you wont get an ammonia spike and the biological filter (rocks) should still be intact. I would still age your new salt water for a couple of days before adding the fish. Good luck and enjoy your new tank.

![]() Well, the fish have been in the refilled 210 tank now for 15 hours will zero signs of stress. I'm actually amazed. I was a bit nervous about such a big undertaking.
I was up at four in the morning and started the acclimation process which took about 4 hours in total. I wanted it to be as gradual as I could make it, time permitting. All the fish are breathing normally, swimming around and I gave them their first feed this evening and they ate voraciously. It's been two days since their pre-move feed. I'd like to thank everyone for the advice and even those who offered to physically come over and help! I'll post pics in a week or so. |
