Upgrading to 29/30gal

[Purrbox]

As far as sticking a new filter cartridge in your established filter to seed it for your new aquarium, should work perfectly fine as long as you can fit it in there. Then when you set up the new aquarium and add fish (or other ammonia source) just transfer the now seeded filter cartridge to the filter. Preferably run it in the established filter for at least couple of weeks.

Thanks Joy! I couldn't see why the wouldn't be beneficial but I knew someone here would know. Sounds like things will be much easier starting up with an established tank to seed from.

On a side note, got my stand planned out this weekend. Got a rough wood list and things I will need. It is going to hold my 30gal long up on top, and my 10gal underneath. Stand will be 40" high, 40" wide and 16" deep. I will probably be posting in the DIY section here in a bit with some questions.

Sounds like the perfect setup for a 30g SW tank with a 10g sump underneath

In my dreams! Lol. I would love to but I don't have the funds or time for a SW tank right now. Believe me.... I've thought about it!
