Moving To Bigger Aquarium

[mike99]

I'm moving my planted tank from a 29g to a 60g and what is the best process to do this? The new aquarium is going where the old is placed so I have to dismantle the 29 and put up the 60. Any tips? I'm temporarily moving my fish to a 10g until I cylce the new tank, but I'm not sure if I need to do anything special with the plants.

well seen as the fish are taken care of, just put all the plants in a bucket with room temperature water. Some plants like moving water so you could pop an airstone in their to although its not really essential. Make sure they get there daily light, and you can pop in a few fertiliser tablets aswell.

Why dont you clone the sponge media so the cycling could be quicker?
