Think I am screwed.

So I was just putting a new Skimmer in the 75 gallon and wouldn't you know I broke the sump. Is it ok to put everything right over into the new 125. It is by far imo not ready even though the levels are looking ok. I am obviously having some phosphate issues because there is algae flipping everywhere.
The cuc will be here tomorrow along with salt. Do I need to run bio pellets. If so can I just put them in a mesh bag in my old sea clone as long as I take off air line. Any input helps

WHere are you located and how much stuff do you have to "hold" until you 125 is ready?

Bring it over to my place to hold moving stuff too soon doesn't end well ussually. Ill be home around 530

+1 Scott's place would be my recommendation. Or my house but I'm in Aurora......

+2, that would be my move.

I patched with water weld. And seems to have fixed it. How long does a new tank need to run with good prams to be ok

Depends on a lot of factors man, but if you are having algae growth bacteria is working, with a lot of water changes and filtration you might be ok, but I still agree rushing is bad.

 

[Andrew_bram]

I no fan of rushing. It has been up 6weeks would be twice as fast as I have ever stocked a tank

I used stability when I started the 120. Really shortened the cycle I was experiencing!

My levels are 0but nitrate it 5-10. Can't really check phosphate because there so much hair algae it woot be accurate. Guess I can put tang in and let him mow it down but then I would be screwed because he would think tank was his

you can always pull him back out for a day and move him back to the other tank and then put him back in. short memories
