Hi everyone, two quick questions today! Long story short, my neighbor is moving/shutting down his 125g tank, and I have a new 75g tank I intend to setup to put the fish in.
1. When we move his fish over Sunday, I know I will need lots of media/decor from his 125g to bring over the beneficial bacteria. My question is, can I reuse his gravel?
2. From what I recall, the water holds little beneficial bacteria, so it would be okay for me to make "brand new" water at my house instead of bringing over 75g worth of his old tank water, right?
Thanks!
