Changing tanks and need help!

[Brent Swain]

I bought a biocube 29 nine weeks ago and now have a chance to buy another biocube 29. The first one has some scratches and new one doesn't, plus has a lot of upgrades. One has my rock, coral, fish and clean up crew in it and new one is dry. How do I make the change and can scrape coraline off my old tank and let it settle in my new tank? Please help me and tell me how to do the change.

Do you want to put this new tank in the same place? If so, you'll first need to pull everything out an put that in buckets /a Brute / something. Pull out the old tank and put in the new tank and then transfer everything back.

Do not transfer the sand. Buy new sand. But everything else gets transferred.

Also make a bunch of extra water and have that ready if needed.

If it were me I'd set up another tank lol

I used a 6' x 10" plastic kiddy pool once when transferring rock, coral and fish from one tank to another.
All it needed was a heater and a powerhead.
I put a piece of plywood over a 1/3 of the pool and the fish all hid under that part of the pool.

Why couldn't I use my sand in the new tank?
