I am planning on upgrading the size of my already conditioned 3 year old aquarium from 45 gallons to 75 gallons sometime next week. I've already begun prepping the additional water I will be adding in a large bucket (air filtration, salt, temperature, and threw in a piece of slate rock from the current aquarium). I know this water won't be cycled and am hoping it wouldn't disturb the balance of the current water. Hopefully it will be like a big water change.
Any recommendations on how to smoothly transition my current fish (grouper, trigger and eel) to their new home? I'll have to keep them in buckets for a few hours while I switch the two aquariums. Would the 30 gallons of new water cause any harm?
Thanks in advance for any advice!!!
