New tank too clean?

[Frtdrmrose7]

I finished upgrading my 60G reef to a 150G cube today and I suspect from the look of my coral it is too clean. I know coral need acclimation time but my 60G was always just a little dirty and the coral loved it. Obviously the new tank is squeaky clean, I still have my 60 up and running (water/sand) only as the rock went into my 150. I was thinking of doing a 30G water exchange to get some of the good stuff into the new tank. Thoughts?

The new tank now has a good 80-100 lbs of coralline covered mature rock that should help with nutrient export.

New tank
PH 8
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
S.G 1.025

Old tank
PH 8
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5ppm
S.G 1.025

Very nice ..and I'd definitely use the water from your 60g in the new tank ..

PO4? Just let it slowly mature... your corals will eventually come back around. I think trying to rush things straight away will have less than perfect results... you may then find yourself trying to reverse nutrient levels!
