Welcome to the forum!
I left my filters running together for about 2 weeks to make sure I had the bacteria take to the new one.
Once you get settled in we'd love some pictures. This is a very picture friendly site! LOL

Someone told me to leave the filter pads in the tank for two weeks. Don't hold me to that. I'd also probably wait for someone on here with more experience to advise you too

Welcome to AA! I usually wait a month or so before switching... But I tend to be a bit over-safe lol. You'll learn a lot here!
