Thanks all for the info.
Why can't I use the sand from my old tank? its only been running for about 5 months. I will definitely use some old LR to seed the new eco reefer rocks I will be ordering next week. I will keep this thread updated.

5 months old should be ok. If it was older with black layers do not use it has toxic layers of broken down food and detris that will make the tank inhospitable. If your is clean (which it should be) you will be ok
 The only problem you will encounter is when you take the sand out it will cloud the 65 and when its in the 155 it will cloud. So fish will be in buckets for a few hours (suggest hospital tank for that duration) BTW what livestock do you have? Last edited by Wayne; 10-30-2010 at 07:32 PM.

I have 3 yellowtail damsels
1 porcupine puffer 1 yellow dogface puffer 1 flame hawkfish Lots of snails and hermit crabs I hear mantis shrimp. But I thought I had killed it with a 48 hour fresh water dip (soda water) this is a tough SOB! The dogface was only 1.5 inch when I got him. Now he's about 4. The porcupine is about 5

Ok, so I have run into a bunch of problems with my basement development, so it looks like I am about a month away from the move.
My LR from my 65g is in rough shape, my protein skimmer slowly died on me and my puffers eventually ate all the snails and hermit crab (theres 1 left) They left them alone for months. My buddy is shutting down his tank and giving me most of his LR. Should I cook/cure them, his tank is running but not in the best shape. My ultimate goal is to start my 155 without any problems
