Afternoon, I am one of those who started with a smaller (90 liter) tank and now plan to go for +/- 200 liter. I have read an article that the switch over can be done more or less as follows:
By filling the new tank 3/4 full of water and let it run for about 24 hours. Then test for pH and temperature and if no difference proceed with the move of your life rock and gravel and lastly your fish.
Can some one please tell me whether this sounds correct and what about coral/ Can it also be moved together with the fish? (I do not plan to run the old tank at the same time any longer). What about nitrite and nitrate levels at this stage?
Please advise.

Red Sea Salt formula - anybody
Posted: September 18th, 2010, 1:33pm CDT by hypn
I am hoping that there are some mathematical geniuses in the group.
If 1kg of red sea salt mixed with 30L water gives you a specific gravity of 1.021, how could I determine how much salt I need to create 2L with a specific gravity of 1.015.
I know mix and measure is probably the easiest way, but I was wondering if there was a easier way to determine the weight
Thanks guys -
