1)IMO set up 125 and fill it 1/2 the way with new s/w with heater and p/h's(mix for 1 day)
2)Move 5gal from 55 to the 125 and back 1 time a day for like a week.(7 days)
3)Put down egg crate on the bottom of the 125 add l/r from 55gal .(move 5 gal )
4)And pull off 1/2in to 1in of the sand/cc/ag from the 55gal to the 125.(move 5 gal)
5)Move the fish/invets/corals 5gal w/c from 55 to 125.
6)Top off s/w from 55 to 125.
7)Use a lot of f/w to clean to sand /cc/ag out in the 55gal and add it 2 or 3 cups weeky.
Wate one day per step 3/4/5 test ever day (the water).
This worked for me 26gal to 55gal to 75gal and will do it from 75gal to new 125gal soon.
