Ok, next weekend I will be moving my 54gal. tank to our new apartment. I have to say this is not on the top of my list of things to move but anyway I think I have a game plan just wanted to run it by you guys and get your input or blessings. I have a 29 gal that was a fresh water tank. My buddy just picked up my Jack Dempsey and my Pleco. I was sad to see them leave I had the Dempsey 3 years and he was big. Ok so my plan is to take about 50 of the 65 gallons of saltwater in the tank and sump fill the 29 1st to be able to quickly get my corals,shrimp, 2 damsels and my serpent start into that tank then put the remaining water into the big tank and make the rest with new saltwater. I want to let the 54 run for a day or 2 since I will be putting in new dead sand and getting rid of my CC. I have 60lbs. of sand do you think this enough for a decent sand bed. I want to be able to clean it so I plan to keep it around an inch or 2. I have a cheap whisper style filter I can use for 2-3 days on the 29 is this going to be OK or should I use my canister it's 295gph. I would rather not use it but I will if the HOB isn't going to cut it. Does anyone have any other things I missed?
