So, I have a 55 gal tank that had all demasoni inside. I sold the adult/juvi ones but kept the Demasoni Fry that I have in the 10 gal.
I bought a 29 gallon that at the new place now. The 55 gal still has water sand etc.etc. everything in it and running. I just took the last of the fish out 2 days ago.
How do I move the insides of the 55 to the 29 gal and keeping the good bacteria??
My plan is to:
1)Take all the rocks and put in a bucket for xfer
2) Take some tank water and put in another bucket
3) Drain the rest of the water
4) Get the sand and put in another bucket (or the bucket where the water is)
5) Take the Filter media and place it in a bag or bucket with tank water (good bacteria)
Either buy new eggcrate or some how get the egg crate from the 55 and cut to fit the 29.
I'll set evertyhing up, How long do you think it will take for the tank to cycle? How long can I add fish?
