transitioning from 7year old 65g saltwater set up with hang on over flow and protein skimmer to 120g saltwater set up; 'all in one - reef ready' from Artfully Acryllic; 120g is going in exact spot 65g currently sits; will take some time, to set up the 120g system as it is new to me; tank on stand, proper placement, run power cords, etc. appreciate thoughts/input on transition and substrate; more on LED lighting later Substrate: mostly fish and live rock now; have crushed coral; have a shrimp that likes to burrow QUESTION: stick with crushed coral which is least costly or go to 'sand'. Transition: Option 1: tear down 65g and move to another spot in room; set it all back up as is; when new tank is received, place, set up, prep, etc; advantage is that this gives me time to work through new set up process and prime the tank Option 2: tear down 65g; remove from house; livestock maintained in 'waterproof' bins with heat, pumps, etc; set up new tank as above; transfer livestock to tank as soon as possible. QUESTION: how is the tank primed so quickly? QUESTION: water proof bins; confirmed this morning that storage bins purchased at Home Depot yesterday are not waterproof; suggestions for containers to maintain livestock and water during this transition. the bathtub, is an option?
