Hello all,
I have an AquaPod AP24 that was established June 2007. I just came across a 46 gallon bowfront tank that I'm interested in puchasing from an LFS. The new tank setup has provisions for a refugium (which I never had with the AP24) as well as a decent skimmer (my NanoCustoms skimmer died months ago and i've been going 'skimmerless' ever since).
My question is how do I establish the new tank, since it's going to be in the same exact place the AP24 is right now? I would imagine that my only options are to basically give away all my livestockything I have (rather than kill anything), taking down the AP24, move it away, set up the 46 gal and do the usual multi-week establishment period. Is there any other option? I don't have room for both tanks in the same area (corner of a living room). Thanks for any help!
