Quick Question

[angelfishguy]

i have a 480 litre tank cycling, currently getting rid of 5ppm of ammonia every 16 hours..
the stocking for it is in another tank which is abit over crowded and just wondering how much water will i have to change daily if i add them,
the fish are
6 angels
4 rams
4 kribs
10 phanton tetra
5 rummy nose
4 congo tetra...
just wondering to check if i can solve the over crowding problem...
thanks for any replies

It maybe processing ammonia in 16 hours (which really needs to be 12) but how much nitrIte is it processing, as this usually takes twice the amount of time to process as ammonia.

I wouldnt risk moving any of the fish over until the cycle is complete, you could still end up with ammonia spikes or massive nitrIte spikes.
