Breeding Tank

[lowthy76]

Take a part of a sponge from your current tanks filter, and put it in the new tanks filter, use some of the old water and the rest DECHLORINATED water, if you don't used dechlorinator then you will kill the bacteria, leave it a few hours to settle then put them in the new tank, frequent water changes, albeit quite small in volume, keeps the water fresh and this will have a positive effect on their growth

thanks very much for the help. i buy ro filtered water anyway from my lfs so i will take some out of mine and add the rest with that i think

Sounds bang on to me, aslong as the PH has not been effected by the decor in your tank (bogwood lowers, limestone increases)then you should be good to go, use a chunk of sponge, then BANG instant tank

what are the dimensions of your 55 ltr tank out of curiousity mate?

20" x 10" x 12" tall.

Got it for £20 with filter and the light built in then jsut used an old 50W heater.

Yeah it wasn't bad, probably a fivers worth of fuel too, but it had gravel and everything. It's a bit scratched up around the top, but for a fry tank who cares?!
