I know brad (hollywood) moved his DSB..my question is how did you do it!

 

[Guest]

I would say you probably need to skim the 1st inch and a half and place seperate from your bottom. Then move all your botton into the new and level it out , then add the good stuff

 

[Guest]

Let me know if you need any help

i did it one also. and the procedure is pretty much like jason said but skim the top 2" off first and place it in a bucket. then scoop out the rest put it in first. then let it settle a little(just so you can see a little better and level it out) then spread the top layer in the bucket out on top. turn the big pumps off for a couple os hours so it will settle better. then turn them on one by one and slowly so you dont blow to much around.

That's pretty much how I did it. Put the top two inches in a bucket and then moved the bottom. Get ready for some stinky stuff!

 

[Guest]

did you put the live stock right back in it?

 

[Will C]

i let it settle over night, but i put the rock in right away.

That's waht I did too. I ran polyfilter overnight to help with the sediment..

 

[Guest]

What did you do with the live sock?

 

[Guest]

Hey Neo ,

I would set up a temp place for them , get some SW water going so when you make the move its conditioned. I would say the animals shouldn't be put in there til about 8 hours later till you can see probably atleast half way in the tank

a temp. bucket with a few pieces of rock and a power head and heater and such. i filled the bucket with the water i was draining from the existing tank. i then the next day took out as much water as was in the bucket and added them with the water into the new tank.

 

[Guest]

I will likely do that.

I used a couple of big tubs to keep everything in..

 

[Guest]

That sounds good only thing is now I have 32 more corals that I need to do this with. Those rose torches and all the others will be here tommorow.

 

[hollywood85]

[Will C]
