    I am putting up my 95 gallon wavefront this weekend. I purchased a fully running 90 gallon aquarium setup from another member so that I could switch all of the content into my wavefront. Well I am going to go and pick everything up on Saturday and will be switching it over to the wavefront. Any advice?

    I am glad to know that I am on the right track at least. I am planning on taking a 40 gallon reservoir tank to pump out as much of the current water in the tank as possible and then bucket the rest with rocks and sand

    i did the buckets first then moved the rock as i could as the water drained and actually allot of bristle worms migrated out to the sand bed. i put the entire sand bed in 2 buckets at the end. i did have a small cycle when i set up at home and my nitrates were in the 20'''s for 2 weeks best advice is bring 4 extra buckets just in case and several pairs of latex gloves or good aquarium gloves
