transfering fish to a new tank...bioload question..

[peckhead]

hello all.
i have a 44g tank with tons of lr, humu humu, blue spotted puffer, tripple eight puffer(brackish in a sw tank), clown fish, and sfe. I recently purchased a 90g tank that all these fish are going to be going into..after i cycle the 90g would it be ok to put all these fish in at once or will this cause all sorts of problems. the 90g is going to have a diy 30g wet dry. what should i do? it would be nearly impossible to have both tanks running at once because i need to take some things out of the 44g( heaters, PHs, ect..).
help!
thanks!

i wish i could get replys like other people. maybe if i post about cycling a tank with fish or something that comes up every day i will get some replies because those people always get tons of them when all they have to do is search...

Umm I don't think it would be a good idea to put them all in at once. I would start with the clowns and move on from there like one every other week or so. Is the lr and substrate going in the system?

ok i thnk i can help you out
first off dont put everyone in at once.
put the least aggesssive in to most aggressie at the end
im sorry to say but it isnt possibble to cycle one tank and take the other down. i did the same thing and had to buy new equipment for my 90.
what a pain it was
everyone in the tank today is fine b ut i added everyone in one day.. i didnt have a problem ebut was proly lucky? not 2 sure on this. i dont remeber how many fish you said you haad but the majotiry might be ok IMO
did this help?

best of luck lets see some pics when you get some transfer done

You will have to buy some extra equipment. Don't put all of them in at once. As stated above, move the less aggressive ones first. Allow two weeks between moving your messier fish (the triggers)

And all you have to do is search to see that you shouldn't put that much livestock into a tank at once. Be patient, both in posting and setting up your tank! The more you bump your threads, the slower they get read by a lot of people because many go from the bottom up. You keep bumping your thread back to the top and it doesn't do anything.

i have about 100 lb of live rock that im going to take out of the 44 and put into the 90 gallon for cycling...it is 4 fish that i have and 1 eel. i have seen threads of people adding 7 fish at a time. but if you guys think i wouldnt be able to then i wont. i guess i will do 3 fish then 2 more,..would that be ok> i just really want to get the trigger out of the 44 g tank!
