the big transfer , how would you do it?

[Magma]

Just my $0.02 but when i moved from a 35g to a 125g tank I tried to do it all in one day, what a DISASTER.

I had the 125g setup and ready to go on day one had dry rock, skimmer going, etc. So day 2 I just took all my LR and fish from the old tank (which was about 2 feet away) and moved the rock over followed by fish and corals. I had about 60lbs of LR in my 35gal tank and all of it had been in the tank for about 2 years before I moved it over.

Everything was looking great until day 4 when I lost almost every coral I had and one fish.

Never again will I believe the "just transfer everything quick" method. I learned the hard way. GO SLOW, do it right.
