Ok I set-up my 75 about eight days ago and the lfs told me that after a week I could dump my 20 into my 75 so today I did!
I have 62 lbs. of live rock and 100 lbs. live sand. 18 lbs of the rock was in the 20 and 20 lbs of live sand was in there that got dumbed into the 75. Also four fish he told me that it would be able to handle the fish. I bought the live rock cured and the filter and emperor 400 was on my twenty for a few months so the bio-wheels had time to get going. So with that said now I wonder will I be ok and when I was moving my coral banded shrimp I tore off one of his arms it was an accident!:( I love my fish! Will he be ok? he seems to be moving around now but will he be ok?
Thanks for any input.
oh yeah I also tested before I joined the tanks and the amonia was 0 and nitrites were 0 and nitrates were 5

if you stirred up a lot of junk changing the tanks.......be sure to let it settle and run the filter w/ carbon and be sure to be skimming, when levels are good, then add them.

I already added my fish and my levels were good also I am running carbon and I am skimming (pulling out lots of junk good skimmer). I was wondering what you guys think if my tank can handle them and how my shrimp will be with his arm.

Your shrimp will regenerate that lost arm when he next molts. It will probably be smaller than the other, but after another molt or two, it'll be like the amputation never happened.
