the big transfer , how would you do it?

[asylumdown]

oh, the other thing I'd do when I transferred the rock from my small tank would be to do my best to place it in the new tank in relatively similar orientations if possible, at least for the first couple of months while the entire system develops life support capacities. The undersides of your rock will have photophobic critters like sponges, tube worms, etc. on them and the top sides will be covered in photosynthetic life. If you can keep those orientations there should be minimal upset to the rocks that you transfer and they'll keep functioning the same as they did in the old tank.
