I have a young Queen Angel about 3 " and have it in a 20 gal. natural sea water tank that has been up and running since July. The fish was caught by a local marine biologist under a bridge. He gave it to me at the end of Sept. I live near Cape Cod and this little guy traveled on the Gulf Stream to his new home. When the water gets cold they die so we definately rescued him. My problem is that I want to upgrade him to a new 55 gal. that I have. Should I set it up with local beach sand and natural sea water? I would then add live rock and let the tank mature. I live on the ocean, an Island actually, so the water is very clean. The angel has been doing well in it for the last 4 months. I do add synthetic mix to do partial changes though. I already have another 55 set up with synthetic sea water . It contains several damsels and a very happy niger trigger. Also I have clusters of mussels in the Angels tank. Does anyone know if the warmer water can harm them. They seem to do well and I do feed them to the angel. I will eventually get a larger tank but for now the 55 is it for the angels new home. Your advice on acclimating him to a new tank and what would be my best water and sand bed options is appreciated.
