Hello all,
I've been in the hobby a while but never really understood how to properly upgrade a tank without losses. I have beautiful juliodochomis and I don't want to lose them as well as some shell dwellers. I have 3 filters on the 10 gallons and they filter a lot as they are for 30-50 gallons one is for 20 gallons the other 20 gallons as well. in the 20 gallons, I have added 2 more filters Fluval internal the biggest one and the medium one. I got them years ago can't remember for what size tanks.
Do the filter bioload decrease ammonia based on 10 gallons or by the amount of fish in the tank?
ie if I upgrade to a 20 from a 10 with the same fish in it and add all the sand and some new sand same roks etc it shouldn't have any new tank syndrome or fish loss right?
Can someone help me with these questions?
