Hello Ned,
I know this is not ideal, but i do need to do this. Current fish tank (1 30 gallon) to be broken down and given away. 40 gallon "temp" tank(2 40 gallon) is now setup and filtering water in basement. When safe, i need to move live rock,clown,tang,and few snails from tank 1 to tank 2. In a few months when room is finished, i will bring up tank #3, a 55 gallon and cycle. Any proven ways to speed cycling? Do you think a move 3 times over few months is too stressful? Thanks.
