Aquarium Advice Apprentice
hi i am moving my 30g fw community into a 55g fw tank with new filter heater etc. i have moved all of the water from the 30g, the substrate and all decorations.
an employee at the lfs suggested that if i move all the water and substrate over and run the filter that was running on the 30 in the 55 i should not have to worry about the tank needing to cycle. how do you (aquarium advice community) feel about this?
if what the lfs employee says is true how long do you think i should run the old filter. the old and new filters both have bio wheels. should i run them simultaneously and if so for how long.
i will be doing the exact same process for a 10g sw to a 30g sw. are there any special circumstances i should be aware of when attempting the same process with sw?
thanks,
jason
