After A Bit Of Advice

[emsvaughan]

I am currently shutting my reef tank down, and selling most of the livestock, but want to keep my clown, cleaner shrimp and scooter blenny. I have an Orca 450 which I can collect this week.

I pretty much know the answer to my own question, but would like some input.

I planned to keep back 8-10kg of LR, with a couple of small corals, and put my clown, shrimp and blenny in it. BUT the guy who wants the other stuff wants to come Saturday. If I set this nano up tomorrow, leave and change water daily, do you think its too risky to put the livestock in on Friday?

I can take some of the water from my reef and set the nano up with that, and then when the reef is drained, I could put the external filter on the nano....

If you put in sand and lr from your reef tank it should be fine just do it as quickly as possible without having anything out of the water for more than a couple of minutes

I'm sure you realise that the scooter blenny will not be able to survive on the food he will be able to gather from the Orca - you will need to also set up a pod culture for him (even if he eats frozen as well)

The tank is a bit small on volume to have the clown and blenny - but I am assuming you are an experienced reefer and know that you will really need to keep on top of water change and chemistry

as long as you use the sand and rock from your currently running system, you should have no problems.
