2 Tanks At Once!

[silky]

hey everyone!!!!!
as you may know from some of my previous posts its my birthday in 4 weeks!!!!!!
i am planning on buying a new juwel rio 125
could i fishless cycle my new one while i keep my other one ( the one with the fish in!!!!) running?
also i have a fuval 2+ internal filter and a tetratec aps50 air pump
would these both be okay in a 125 litre aquarium?
i am planning on keeping a few malawi fry in my old one until they get too big and then transfer them over
thanks

i think you may need a bigger filter

and yeah you can keep fish in the other one while you fishless cycle the new

or you could put the new filter in the old tank for a few weeks and cycle it that way

Yeah, I dont know why you couldn't cycle another tank when you have another one running.

But what you can do is take some mature filter media form our running tanks filter and place it into you new filter on your new tank to speed up the fishless cycle.

I don't know what you mean by "could i fishless cycle my new one while i keep my other one ( the one with the fish in!!!!) running?". Unless you have no plugs left or something lol

the 2+ filter is proberbly not big enough, if you want a good one for that size you could go for the fluval u3.

Clone it! If you have enough media in the original filter, put this into the new filter. Then add your fish straight away!
