Cleaning a second hand tank and the transfer or live stock

[Matthew Peinke]

Hi all. Wonder if you can give me some advice. I’m planning on upgrading my TL450 to a 265L cube.

What would be the best way to clean the cube?

What would be the best way to move the livestock over?

Thanks.
Matthew.

white vinegar diluted in water to clean the glass

The cube will have to be cycled first.

Agreed on the vinegar, I use a 1:1 ratio of vinegar & water. Works Great at cleaning a LED TV screen too.
New tank will have to cycle but you could add some water from the TL450 when you do a water change, some live rock that doesn't any coral on and all the substrate too.
It should help the tank cycle a little bit quicker
