I have a 20 gal reef tank that has been up and running for 16 months now, lots of softies, tons of nice coraline algea, 2 fish, crabs, snails ect... I have 25 lbs live rock, 20 lbs live sand.
Im setting up a 65 gal AGA RR tank with a 20g long sump. Once I get it all put together and filled with fresh salt, can I empty my 20g into it without any ill effects or should I wait a period of time?
I also wonder if anyone has done something similar and had good sucess with the transfer. Will the new tank cycle? or will the water,rock,sand from the established tank help prevent the cycle from occurring?
