Finally got around to getting my 75g corner overflow. I went ahead and set up the herbie style over flow, with the full siphon on the 3/4 drain with the full siphon and the emergency on the 1" drain, running to a 20g high sump.
The sump is set up to drain then up a bubble trap w/ enkamat (coarse filter pad) then up over the baffle to a blue/white filter pad, then I have about 2.5-3g of lava rock, goes up over another baffle and through a basket that holds purigen, chemipure, and another blue/white filter pad. Then I have an ehiem 2217 with coarse pads and about 3-4l of seachem matrix.
Right now I have the ehiem with all fish in a 40g long. I plan to fill the tank up in the next few days and wanting to transfer the fish. Fill up tank and treat with prime, let run for 24hr, add stability, then start the transfer.
Current stocking
5-cyprichromis leptosoma utinta
5-syno lucipinnis
2- lamp. occelatus gold
1-neo. cylindricus
2- bristlenose
When I plan to move the fish over whats the best way to go about this? I will be taking some of the rocks out the tank as well as the filter. Should I just add the fish straight to the new tank with the filter or take some water from the previous tank (I know water doesn't hold much bacteria), Also how soon after should I start adding new fish?
Final stocking plans
8-10- cyps
5- syno
2-3- occies to pair
1-2- cylindricus to pair
2-3- alto comps to pair
2- bristlenose
around 20-25max till I get a pair of each.
