Tank Transfer

[szutj001]

Well you all have different setups so for everyone this is different. Have my 55 finally up and running. The fluval has been running on my two black and white as a bio load. The new 55 all dead rock and sterile water chemistry all same and just an easy transfer. I just bring up can these transfers be made and how to make them with reduced stress. Yes water chemistry should match but when your bioload is watered down from the new tank do you then have a new spike and how to battle that do you just have loads of water for water change to stabalize? Or did you just make multiple spikes and a very unfriendly condition. Mine is but two little fish but bet with corals fancy or not you have made it a do they live or not scenario. So who can chime in give some basics and well common sense advice. I have asked way more questions than I can answer and frankly dosent apply but bet this will be a question for more than not. When your new to the Hobby and or love of the micro world we create. Do we not want to be the best master we can?

I have been using the little tank as that has some life in it too make the 55 less stressed as I put Garf grunge in there to speed cyccle and now it has basically fouled the tank. Anyway doing the water changes and well today the 55 is doing better in its new cycle. I mean this is very primative but those of you that have multiple tanks when you fire up a new tank what do you do to speed things up?
