The Chronicles Of My New Tank!

[apieceoftheocean]

Last night was the night I have been waiting for! I have had a pathetic 20-gallon fish-only tank IMG_0050.jpg for the past year, and I just upgraded to a 75 gallon, IMG_0049.jpg which will eventually be transitioned to reef. (in a few weeks..)

Here are some pictures of my newest addition and the 6-hour process of setting it up and transferring my 20-gallon into it as well!

did you just add clowns to an uncycled tank?

I was wondering the same thing. Also, I take it that is live rock? If so you may want to add more. Looks good and looks like you are your way! Don't be over anxious about adding corals though. Maybe 3-6 months down the road as your tank will cycle for some time.

HAHA no. definitely not. this is not my first tank. the clowns were in a 20 gallon that was established well over a year. The equipment, rock, and clowns were transferred to the bigger tank, so it has the same bacteria and "good stuff" as the established tank. (which is now no longer in existence since everything was moved into the larger tank)

What I am doing is waiting for a few weeks before adding any new livestock or corals to the tank in order to let the tank settle down a little bit. i have been monitoring levels and everything is peachy keen the fish survived the move and are doing quite well. (thank god! it was stressing me out!)
