Moving & Upgrading ??

[bluebubbles]

I have moved my tank before, so I know about all that...
When I moved it before I keeped the sand bed in it and it worked out well.
But now I am moving (down the street so it wont take long) and upgrading my tank
55 to a 110
and have no idea how to handle the sand issue??
Do I move it directly to the new tank and add new sand too?

Oh I forgot!!
What about my lighting???
I have a coral life fixture and its about time to buy new bulbs
so........
Is it anough?

I am a college student and move my tank all the time. with the sand, go ahead and take it all out. However when you do this your gonna have to wait a day or two just to make shure all your levels are ok before re introducing your livestock.
As for your lights. it all depends on what your keeping. but with the info that you gave I would say...your tank is going to be twice as big, therefore your gonna need twice as much lighting.
