You can move the fish, the 10 gallons water and the filter over to the new tank the same day. You can also move the substrate over because it contains bacteria as well. if your not using the same substrate it's no big deal. Watch for a mini cycle and do a water change if needed. You can remove the old filter after 2-4 weeks once the new one is seeded with bacteria. When it's removed continue to keep a close eye on levels just in case.

Parrisgg said:It is possible to run two filters in the same tank?
Parrisgg said:Do two filters run the tank to peak efficiency or is that not necessary?
