i would definatly monitor both tanks after removing the filter. but it should be fine. i use an extra sponge filter in my tank to instantly start another tank. just remember, everything you hear here is someones opinion. don't take what anyone, including me says as what to do. i can only...

i agree to monitor both tanks to be safe, but removing a filter that has only been in the tank for 2 weeks should not significantly reduce the bacteria in the original filter(provided the 2nd filter was put in the tank after it was completely cycled and stable) if you cycle a tank with 2 filters...

+1 i would run the filter for your new tank on your established tank for 2 weeks or more. or if you have a large sponge in your established tank take it out and squeeze all the nasty looking junk into your new tank. water is a waste. substrate in a bag is ok. don't take the old filter from...

actually, if you get a new tank in the future you can just seed it from your existing tank.

about to start my new tank. using the method of 4 to 5 watts per gallon figured 600w would be good especially considering i am planning on a discus tank that has higher temps. i ordered two jager 300w heaters. when i got them in they say they are rated for 159 to 264 gallons each. my...
