150 gal

[mrme123]

I just bought a 150 gal from my lfs. Got a good proce, got the tank stang overflow box predrilled for $700. I currently have a 55 gal. How do i transfer my fish over? I wanted to set it up in the same spot, but I don't think there is anyway to get the 150 ready and move the 55. What do I need to do to transfer everything without killing them?

You can put what you have in the 55 in trash cans or tots with pwerheads to circulate the water. Then you can remove the 55g and put the 150 in its place, but I would get new live sand to put in the 150g, hope this help.
