Tank Swap

[300hp+vr6]

following on from what did i do wrong thread.
today i bought a juwel rekord 96 (which i assume is 96l?)

the 2 guppies and all the neons appear healthy and the amonia nitrite and nitrate all read 0 (have done since the day after the fish went in)
could i swap everything over to the juwel including gravel filter (tempory because the bacteria have colonised it) plants absolutely everything from the original tank? will the juwel automatically be cycled?

and do mollies and guppies get along ok?

does the 96l normal shape tank open up the number and types of fish i can stock?

thanks in advance

Hi,
i did not catch your other post,
what other tank are you swaping the media from?
the juwel would be cycled if it had pads from a cycled juwel tank,
yes molly and guppy are fine together.

the thread entitled what did i do wrong

the active tank atm is a funny shaped 39l thats had fish in it for a week or so i cycled it without fish but think i overstocked to soon and stress 4 poor guppies to death (amonia nitrate and nitrate remained fine throughout)

i was going to set the juwel up AND use my stingray filter from the 39l tank temporarily would this work untill the juwel pads were colonised?

well i bit the bullit and swapped everything lock stock and barrel
i put new gravel in 1st then the old colanised gravel on top all the ornaments and plants from the old tank. set the juwel filter up running AND put the filter from the old tank in running.
its been 9 hours or so iv just tested the water and everything still reads 0. the fish all seem happy the 2 guppies seem happier as they go all over the tank now instead of hanging round the filter.
iv even seen the neons do a conga lol

i put an airstone in but the instructions said i dont need 1 should i remove it?

ive read your other post now ,
keep the air stone if you like it, ive got a bubble curtain in my juwel tank,
as you have a test kit all you can do is test every other day for ammonia ect, which you prob already do,
then reg water changes if you see any ammonia + nitrite, the same happend to me with my daughters tank the fish did fine, all the best with it Donna

yep i do daily tests on amonia nitrite and nitrate im a little suprised at the lack of nitrate could the plants be using it?
im also doin 20 ish% water changes every 2 or 3 days should i reduce this?
