Downsizing - Opinions on making the move

[Hannan1313]

I am currently in the process of moving and am having to downsize everything in my life not only my tank... But that leads me to questions on bringing my old setup into my new tank? I currently have been running a 125gal and due to size restraints in my new living situation I am going to a 29gal Bio Cube. I currently have started up the Cube with new sand and just live rock as of yesterday, but am a little nervous when I start to break down the big tank and move corals to the small one. I have about another two weeks before I have to complete the move, but I just want to make sure I take as many proactive steps to reduce the stress on my fish and corals. I know I am not going to be taking everything with me, what I am unable to relocate to the new tank I am going to be trading back to the LFS. Any advice? I would appreciate all that I can get. Also I do keep a mixed reef currently under 150W HQI lighting but am going to have a canopy hood built and am installing LED lights for the small tank. What kind of light acclimation should I make sure I take into account when I start moving things? Thanks in advance for your help out there.

Hey Dan, it's Dwayne. U could try using a piece of screen like the screen on a screen door, and put it over the tank(between the light and the water). Also cut the time of day that your lights run back some.
