New tank
Hello everyone!
I need help cos i never do somethink like that before.
How to move puffer from 60 liters to 180 liters?
What we have: i cant keep 2 tanks at once. Need one to replace the other and how to do it without harming puffer?
Do I need to use old soil? Or a new one? Is it possible to add water from the old tank to the new one?
Just move all stuff from old 60l tank to new 180l and add some new sand/dry/live rocks/salwater?

Re: New tank
It's always best to move as much from the old tank over to the new one, since that's where all your nitrifying bacteria lives.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

Re: New tank
Get rid of the Eheim & add a protein skimmer. No need for a bubbler, the powerheads should move the water around enough & it's going to spray salt everywhere.
Hermit is probably in your puffer's stomach.
What SG are you at?

Re: New tank
You mean, 1.025? No, you really don't need the Eheim--it's a nitrate factory for SW tanks.
Where did the live rock come from? How many pounds/KG?

Re: New tank
+1 I found my GSP on the floor one morning after changing up my hang on equipment. I didn't trim a new piece of plastic for the back of the lid and he managed to jump out of a 2"X5" hole. Luckily he was still alive. I rinsed him off and burped him once back in the water. So, yes definitely want to keep the tank jump proof.
