CYCLING NEW TANK WITH TWO MATURE FILTERS

[Marc West]

Oh I am sorry, The tanks was shut down today, so filter still full of water and media wet.

The filter that is currently on fahaka tank will be moved over the day I move its new tank

The filter you've already moved, turn it on now. It will be better with water running through it than just sitting. The bacteria will still be all alive if you've only shut the tank down today, and they'll still be alive and waiting for the puffer tomorrow.

Hi guys

So new fahaka nearly there, moved one of the filters over other one having difficulty getting going. Added air pump for a nice flow on surface

Not put fahaka in yet as temp isn't quite right. In 27. 5 in current tank but this one 25. So added another heater.

My water is as follows


No3 10
No2 0
Gh 8
Kh 10
Ph 7.2
Cl2 0

Please see video, let me know what you think
