From old tank, I will move all live rocks, substrate, and 50 gallons of water over. Those should be ok to handle current corals + fish. Only new 180 gallons of water will change all the parameters especially alk/ph/temp/nitrate/phosphate (like 2-3x 100% water change) - so if I can match/get...

I remembered reading about this couple months ago. Sanjay and his colleague tried and lose couple of fish but had good result with vivid color and grow. Right now I just want to make new 190 gallons "dirtier" with nitrate to match the old water. I'm worry more about corals.

Yeah, this probably is easiest way. Will use air pump to raise pH and add some NeoNitro to raise the nitrate to ~5ppm as well.

Or should I use muriatic acid way following instruction from Randy Holmes-Farley https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/reducing-alkalinity.339109/#post-4214464

I'm planning to migrate the live stocks this afternoon; however, a quick check on Alk with hanna: current tank 8 vs 10.4 (freshly mixed IO salt) What should I do? Slowly raise current tank to 10 in 2 days? What a bummer, I should think about this before hand and use different salt.

I would like a frag of this one. @SupraSaltyReefer, @RandyC, @salty_taste, @Max Nano Justin, @Adauqua, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Yo!!! I hope so when you clean/bath her. You let this old girl got really dirty when you have a new sexy beautiful 8 footer in house.. hehehe

A simple straightforward upgrade - nothing fancy except the tank :). Thanks everyone in here especially Will (@Turkeysammich) and Max (@popper) to make this happen. Tank: Starfire glass 186 gallons - 60x26x27 Skimmer: 10 yrs old classic Reef Octopus 150-int - upgrade when needed. Lights: old 2...

Same here. Thank you all for coming out and helping, especially Will @Turkeysammich. I inherit a great tank. Also special thank you to Max @popper for helping unload and everything.

@Srt4eric I'm interested -- sent txt

The tang will be in Will’s 190 in ~2 weeks - hopefully

The last hurrah before its shutdown From glorious day May-23 —> iworst day Jul-23 (2 weeks vacation, temp swing + BJD) and now. The blue tang is screaming for room to swim.

Yes please. I and my son really need 2-3 helpers. I'm in south San Jose Blossom Hill area (near Martial Cottle park)

My 56gl is full and too small for the tangs. I'm really excited to inherit and upgrade to Will's 190. I'm really appreciated any help to unload and sit the tank on the stand in San Jose that afternoon.

To minimize its deadly tentacles effect, I put it under the circulation pump where the flow is upward; therefore, all the tentacles flow upward as well. Xenia is my headache. I try to grow/content them in the sump right now but they still pop up in the rocks in DT. I have to wait for them to...

What a bummer -- someone is giving away 90gl tank/stand - https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/free-oceanic-90-gallon.35393/

Stay strong Nick! My thoughts and prayers are with her and you.

My next build rock structure with torches from @thephoreefer

Yes, something like these, a little fatter

incredibly beautiful torch garden Danh! You inspire me. Need your expert advice - I bought two torches at CFM, they had thin and 2” long tentacles. Since introduced in my tanks, their tentacles get 2-3 times thicker but half shorter. What cause these changes? Flow? Or nutrient?
