Fish Fanatic
Hi all
I have just bought a Juwel 180L and my existing fish are going to be moving house soon.
The filters are completely different from each other so its not like I can stick some of the stuff from my old filter into the new filter.
I was thinking of putting a bag or bowl of gravel at the bottom of my existing tank..and then after setting up the NEW tank, I will move that gravel into it.
I have heard that the good bacteria live in surfaces rather than water so putting some of the existing tank water into the new one might not help.
How long do you think I will have to leave the new gravel in the existing tank before the bacteria start growing on it?
Also once i put that gravel into the NEW tank, I have to put some fish food in there for them to feed on right?
Do you guys have any tips or suggestions for me to cut down on cycling time if possible?
