Was wondering if adding a second filter to my existing tank for the purpose of getting bacteria established in it will work to speed up the process of cycling my new additional tank. Currently I have a 150L community tank with an eheim 2213 on one of my tanks that was previously established...

From what I've gathered adding extra filters or having larger ones doesn't make your tank "extra filtered" it just means that you have maximum filtration for the volume if water. And I don't know why that link wasn't working. The forum must block it for some reason

This is a pretty helpful site- don't think it's entirely accurate when using the basic size presets as it works on a fully grown max scale but if you take the time to add the sizes in manually it's pretty good. Also gives advice on compatibility of species as well as water parameters, PWC...

When you say "round up" the ghost cats do you mean get more or round up the one i have and ship him out? To a new home I mean... Not a war zone :-p I want to keep both tanks with fish, which is why I only wanted to move some of them. Was thinking of Putting the clowns in the new one definatley...

Hi guys, I recently got my hands on a second hand 300L tank (I think 80g US from top of my head) for an absolute bargain (woot!) and an eheim 2217. I was wondering which of my fish would be more happy together in this new home. I currently have- 3 BN plecos, 9 neon tetras, 1 male guppy, 3...

It seems to like following around the algae eater! According to the previous owner, the loach and the glass cat have been alone always.

Believe they are upside down catfish. I will post pics soon.

Sorry for the double post- iPhone is possesed. Was thinking I'll get rid of the glass cat and loach as soon as I can find a suitable home for them. Also the white widows as I'd prefer something more interesting (sorry any fans) i like the idea of getting some of those other loaches. If I do...

Thanks for the advice. Was pretty sure I was over stocked. Like I said- I got the tank with alot of fish already. Will look into rehoming the ones you mentioned so I can make sure the rest are happy and healthy. I will put up some pics when I get the chance. The substrate is a mix of sand and...
