    i think i just added one 40lb bag, but i don,t use a dsb. just calculate the diff in the footprint of the tanks and you should be able to tell how much you need. probably about double what you have now.

    okay, the bottom area of the tank isn't too much bigger than what i have now so probably just one bag will do it. were you running wet dry, did you upgrade? i will probably won't to save money- i trust gary's advice ;)

    Most reefers don't run a wet/dry at all. The're OK for a FO tank that has a higher bioload.

    go with garys advice. i've never had a wet/dry, but in your case(since it's already carrying some of your bioload) i'd move it over to the new tank and maybe phase out the wet/dry section down the road.
