Hey Guys,
I finally got the 'okay' from my significant other to buy a 55 gallon setup. $220 for the kit from walmart with stand.
I am going to be moving my fish from the 29 gallon into the 55 gallon.. but first I have to move the 29 to another room. I have a 20 gallon rubbermaid container I can put the fish and 2/3 of the water from the tank in. From there I will empty all the rocks and gravel and move the 29 gallon tank and stand to another room and put the gravel rocks back in.. and then put the 10 gallon inhabitants into. Should I acclimate the occupants of the 10 gallon in the 29 by floating and adding water slowly or put them in then fill it up with water?
On the 55 I should have it almost half full with water from my old tank so I figure I can just fill er up with tap water and dechlor. I am pulling my biowheels from the 29 to put on the 55 and some gravel from the 10.
My wife wants the 29 left like it was in decoration but with her 10 gallon fish in it. So there should be no ammonia spikes because I am keeping the gravel and rocks of the 29 in the 29 for the 10 gallon inhabitants.
I am also taking the biowheels from the 29 and putting on my 55 along with the 'gravel' left from the 10 gallon to put in my 55.
Does anyone see anything wrong with my idea? I hope it goes well. I'm going to pick up some rocks and boil them later this week for my 55.
