20L glass tank with Coralife power compact fixture from my old 29 gallon! I plan to downgrade and put this aquarium where the 55 is now. Bought some new sand, and plan to transfer other equipment from old systems during the upgrade.
Downgrade Gameplan:
- Clean new aragonite sand
- Remove Yellow Tang (Bubbles) from 55 and take him to AC&C, as well as a few pieces of liverock if they will take it!
- Remove equipment from 55.
- Move corals from 55 into holding container with water from the tank
- Move 20 gallons of water to a holding container to be used in 20 gallon.
- Remove live rock from 55 and place in its own holding container with some water from the tank.
- Remove clownfish, six line wrasse, and yellow watchman goby from tank and transfer into holding bucket with water from the tank, also any cleanup crew I can find.
- Scoop a cup of sand from the 55 to seed the 20 gallon.
- Empty the 55 and move away from the wall.
- Put 20 gallon in place.
- Put sand into 20 gallon, and fill it halfway full with water.
- Transfer decent amount of live rock into 20 gallon along with corals.
- Put fish into 20 gallon
- Set up life support systems on 20 gallon
- Clean up 55 gallon tank and extra equipment
- Sit back relax and hope all went well!
