    Posted: March 22 2009 at 10:11pm
i just bought a 210 and want to move all the livestock from my 2- 75's into it. should i set the 210 up and run it for a while, or can i take all the sand rocks and water from my exsisting tanks and put everything in the new one all at once? any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated!

if you have room for all the tanks i would do it slow
but if not i think you would be fine moving every thing
out with the large and in with the nano

just like John said.  I would set up the 210 and have it running, then slowly add corals/livestock  to the new tank.  I still have corals in my frag tank (which is connected to my 120g but in the basement) that belong in my 120g, but I havent moved them up yet.

Either way will work fine. I would just go with whatever is most convenient to you.
