    Default New Tank!!!

    Just got my new 55 gallon RR tank. The question is, If I use the rock from the old tank and a couple of cups of sand from the old tank, could I go ahead and move all of the livestock as well? I have added 40 pounds of new "live sand" that I bought while picking up the tank.The old tank is about six months old and with the exception of some hair algea it is doing great( hair algea problem is taken care of and going away). I have 2 false percs, Lawn mower blenny, a small candy cane, some musrooms on a rock, some GSP, mutiple snails and hermits. I would really like to get the swap done but I don't want to loose anything either.

    Thanks for the advice.

    The only problem I can see is the new live sand causing a cycle. Are you going to putting the new tank in the place of the old one or in a different location?
