Hello,
First post here!
I have a 15G tank with 4 Danios in it and am planning to move them to a new 32.5G Fluval flex. I got it for a steal as it was a display model at Petsmart so I couldn't pass it up.
I am planning to move the Danios to this tank, and add 5-6 tetras and maybe another danio or two down the road.
I have a few questions I've been thinking about for the past couple of days though.
1) Should I move the gravel from the old aquarium to the new, in order to keep the bacteria going? if so,
2) I assume I should move the fish into the new tank right after taking the gravel? - (more of an uncertain statement than a question)
3) For anyone that may have a 32G Flex tank, are the nozzles from the pump able to provide enough surface agitation that I won't need an airstone or extra water moving pump?
I've only ever used airstones and just recently learned about surface agitation. If one could avoid this annoying air pump, one would be super happy about it!
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any tips/help offered!
