Lf vacation home for corals

jonnyu · Mar 22, 2014

Well I'm changing my tank out for a 180. I'm worried about my tank having mini cycle and killing my corals. Does anyone know a LFS or does any FMAS. Members have space told hold some corals for a few weeks till its running stable ? I don't mind paying for this service. or is there a way I can move everything over withing 2 week time frame without killing thing's?

Jonny- if its only going to take a few weeks you can have both tanks running at the same time. Especially if you are using the same live rock. Thats how i upgraded from the 120 to the 200. we emptied the 120 with everything in it, moved it a few feet away, filled it back up. Now you have as much time as you need to build and fill the other one. check my build thread on the other fiorum. Its all documented there.
