Moving Livestock: Need Advice Please

Chris918 · 12/09/2017, 12:02 AM

Hello,

My fiancee and I are moving all the inhabitants from a tank in my office to a small setup in another room as we get ready to upgrade. The tank in my office just has a few small soft corals, 1 damselfish and some hermit crabs. We have the new tank setup using only water from the existing tank. We will be adding the same rock and biological filtration marinepure to get that tank going fast since we have to take this tank down by tomorrow. We got new sand and used the included bio water clarifier. Is it safe to move the inverts, soft corals and one fish before the water has fully cleared? Water parameters are now identical and temperature is stable.

Thank you!

Yes. Dont be shocked if the coral close up for some time in the new tank.
