hello all,
I currently have 37g reef,fish,lr tank. It has been running for about 3 years successfully. Even the percula clownfish have mated twice already, although babies have not survived due to other fish and filtration. There is a refugium and protein skimmer on this setup.
But I would like some advice on upgrading to a larger tank.
I would like to move up to a 85g tank. The question is can I begin to use the water from the current tank water changes to "help" the new tank? Can I gradually move some of the sand and live rock to the new tank to help "seed" the new tank?
Or should I just begin from scratch?
I appreciate any and all comments regarding the best way to move on this. Also I plan on the larger tank to be fish only.
thanks in advance for the help.
