I was planning on transferring everything in my 40 gallon to a new 55 gallon tank. I have a few concerns about my old tank that I wanted to bring to your attention. My old tank has Brown Hair algae, I have a few SPS, some Goniporas, Shrooms, Zoas and about 90 lbs of Live Rock.
Questions I have:
1. Can i transfer everything and toss the live Rock? Keep Bare bottom? or would that remove too much good bacteria?
2. Sump transfer. If i completely remove the sump and transfer it into a bigger sump. Would that also have an effect on my parameters?
3. should I just set up a brandnew tank and transfer everything when cycled? or would the tank not be matured enough?
