Well i should be getting a 55gal pretty soon for free from this lady and i have a few questions before i get all into it.
How am i gonna cycle this baby? Ive got two ten gallons with (of course) cycled external filtres on them.
Could i stick both filters on the 55, add in all the fish from both tanks which are
*5 albino Cories
*8 Neon Tetras
*2 Male Guppies
Maybe a betta if i dont have anywhere else to out him at the time.
Would this work out for me? Maybe i could also bag up all the rock and put it into Nylons too and stick them into the tank? And keep up on the water changes pretty frequently?
Also i was wondering about stocking a 55. My largest tank so far is a 29gal. With teh fish listed above how much more can i put in? If prolly beef up the cory and neon numbers. And give the Gups to the LFS.
Anything else i should know about handling a big tank like this? Hints and Tricks?
All is appreciated!
