I'm upgrading my established 55 gallon tank to a 6ft 130-50 gallon tank and any tips/advice on the best way to go about it are much appreciated. I have 2 HOB filters on the 55 that I'm going to use on the new tank so I already have a lot of cylced media and I plan on using the water from the 55 and then filling it up the rest of the way with new water to act as a large water change, but i might be changing substrate. Will this cause a swing in the water chemistry? Or will I be fine putting the fish in right away? The fish will be in a couple 5 gallon buckets with an airstone while I'm making the switch.
