    After 9 months with my Fluval Evo 13.5g, it's time to upgrade to the Aquatop 24g. I hope to just switch everything over and hope that I don't have a mini-cycle. Only changes is new sand and switching to Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt from Red Sea Coral Pro. I plan to dose the new tank water to match parameters before the transfer. I also plan on using Microbacter 7 for the first month to replace any bacteria that may be lost during the transfer.

    Everything is transferring.

    Tailspot Blenny
    Cleaner Shrimp
    Astrea and Cerith snails

    Purple tip hammer
    Green hammer

    Gsp rock
    Bunch of zoas
    2 acros
    Rainbow monti
    Red plate monti (might leave this out takes up a bit a space and had to trim back from touching glass)

    Lava lamp mushrooms

    It's been a month since the transfer and I've had zero issues. Added two designer clowns.
    I got some sweet secret Santa gifts from R2R including a refugium light. So now I have a refugium in chamber 3.
    Planning on picking up dosing pumps so I don't have to keep manually dosing as the kalk in my ATO can't keep up.
