Transferring fowlr tank - Live sand transfer or new ?

[AJK]

Hi,
I would like to transfer fowlr tank from bowfront to rectrangle, I was wondering if I can transfer sand that is in existing tank or should I start with new sand ? I began existing tank in May 2011,. Sand is fairly new.
Thanks

I would think you should be fine transferring it, being it's only 2 - 3 months old, if you want you can rinse it a bit in ro/di but as new as it is bet you don't even have to do that.

Yeah you should be ok (at 2-3 months)........I would siphon it out and give a little RO or SW rinse to make sure there are no "nasties" in there.

Thanks Changed my mind. Was going to buy new sand, since existing tank is doing well. Got my fingers crossed, will rinse existing sand, reusue. Tank transfer begins.
Cheers !
