Advice on upgrading

[corey.nolta]

So, I am upgrading from a 60 to a 90. There is a local guy who is selling me his whole tank setup with all livestock. It's an entire package deal - drilled tank, sump, skimmer, heater, return pump, powerheads, a generic ato, led lighting. As well as all the livestock / rock. There is about 100# of rock, a total of 7 fish, and then random CUC, and some other randoms corals/frags.
So here is my loaded question.

How in the heck do I go about switching to the new tank!?!? The new tank will be going right where my current one is. Do I basically just throw everything into a rubbermaid (rock in one, livestock in another)?Do I take the seller's water too and combine with mine? Do I not? Do I just keep my 60 gallons worth of water and add 30 gallons of new salt water? Can I use my current sand bed? If so, will stirring it up in the moving process end up causing any sort of min cycle? I have so many questions and am so very excited!

Any feedback / tips / advice would be much appreciated!!
Thanks!

A. Rubbermaid is fine for your livestock and LR. Personally I would put both in the same container.
B. If you want to use some old water, I would use yours only.
C. Don't use your sand bed. Too much dangerous junk!
I hope this helps. It should give you enough time to get your 90 up or until your better half divorces you
Good luck and keep us posted!
