I currently have a fluval spec aquarium (5gallons), the plastic frame around the bottom has started to crack slightly and this is causing the tank to be slightly lower on one side so time to upgrade before it gets worse or breaks! I obviously need to move the fish out asap into a new tank. I will be getting a new 20G tank this weekend and wondered what the fastest way to move everything over will be? I have read about moving the old tank water and biological media into the new but this will only make up around 20% of the new tanks volume. Will this be enough to make sure the water is safe for my fish? I will also be moving the plants and rocks over as well not sure if this will have any beneficial effect?
If the old tank wasent breaking I would cycle the new tank and move over when ready but that is not really an option.
What is the best way to make the move quickly but also safe for the fish?
Thank you for reading and any advice will be appreciated!
