    Question Procedure for my upgrade?

    I plan on doing a fishless cycle on my 72 bowfront with 50 lbs live rock, 25 lbs base rock, 100 lbs sand. I have another 25 lbs of fully cycled live and base rock in my fowlr.

    After the 72 cycles I plan on moving my 4 fish,(marroon clown, jewel damsel, yellow tail damsel, purple psudochromis,) into the 72 gal tank. I was going to spit them 2 by 2 a couple weeks apart. After the fish are moved, can all the rock go into the 72 at once or what is the proper procedure?

    To catch the pseudochromis you'll probably need to take out all the rocks anyway so keep him as the last one and transfer all (remaining) rocks in the same go.

    Nothing wrong with your procedure Rick. Just as a precaution, be sure to test your water along the way. With the increase in water volume and cured live rock, there shouldn't be any issues concerning bioload.
