new tank

hi guy just wondering if someone could help, i have a new tank thats just cycled and want to move my corals from the old tank into the new, just wondering a good way to remove any unwanted parasites or hitch hikers

 

FW dip?

 

how long has the new tank been running? and what types of parasites and hitchhikers do you have?

 

yeh i thought that was just wondering if it would upset the duncans?

 

im not sure there are any except for bristleworms, just want to keep the new tank as clean as possible, its been running for 3 weeks finished the cycle about a week ago but leaving it just to be sure

 

maybe just check the rock really well for any signs of stuff you dont know what it is, take pictures, post em on here. other than that i wouldnt go around FW dipping your stuff, you will loose more bennificial things like that.

 

oh ya and btw i would let that tank sit for a bit longer before you put stuff in there, every time you add something(im assuming there is no live rock?) you will start a mini cylce, go VERY SLOW or you might regret it.

what size tanks are we talking about?

 

I had to move a 55gal to a 75gal. I was moving across the hall into a two bedroom. I set the 75gal up about 1 month before the move and had about 20lbs lr in there. I transfered everything in one night. I didn't have any deaths or any problems. I would not dip any lps or sps just move them. Softies ? Zoas you can freshwater dip for a while and not really affect them. Do you have lr in the new tank? How big and what kind of filtration?

 

Finished the cycle in 3 weeks? I am wondering if you should slowly add LR and maybe a fish or two and let the bacteria build up somemore. I know the bioload of corals is not all that much, but I would want the tank aged a little more.
