Question on tank upgrade - help needed.

[CamERER]

I have an established African cichlid tank and am going up to a bigger size. the current tank is 75g and they are going into a 150g. I have had all my fish for years and don't wanna lose them. Can someone help me? I need some advice.

What sort of advice were you after?

How to move them over without having any die. Is that possible.

Get some large Tupperware bins, like the 50 gal ones, and fill them will clean water. Hook up ur filters to the Tupperware bins with proper heaters and make sure the surface is agitated in some way with power heads or air stones in each and take ur time setting up the new tank. I've had fish live in Tupperware bins for three weeks without anyone being hurt.

If possible link them together by putting the input of one filter taking from one and the output into the other and vise versa if u have two filters. I had canister filters so I was able to do this. Good luck!
