Haha like what bro CCT mentioned, its up to u to decide to take the risk a not.
Cichlids are hardy fishes but I wouldn't advise it if you are getting a colony of mobas or zaries ![]() Rule of thumb is to go through the proper cycling phase. Using existing conditioned water and media will accelerate the cycling process . Another option is to buy those bottled /powdered bacteria from LFS. It ranges from $10 - $30 depending on brands. Can probably accelerate to a few days instead of weeks. |

Whichever filtration u used, u can actually put in fishes immediately or if you kiasu..couple days later if you .... 1. Use a bucket of tank water, squeeze/wash your old sponges inside bucket. You will see the bucket actually got very dirty and brownish with smug/bacterias in it 2) Soak the new medias/sponges into the dirty bucket and you will have some bacterias trapped inside them 3) Use the soaked medias/sponges for your new filtration system for the new tank 4) Water wise for the new tank...can use tap water with anti-chlorine 5) OFC you will not fill your new tank with 100s fishes immediately as then the bioload would be too great for your new filtration system. Add fishes wisely and accordingly. Above opinions are from my honest experience and just wanna share with you all. |

![]() 75% WC x number of tanks. *foams* Agree with the extra dosage. A little extra never hurts. 1 capful = 5ml for 200l of water 4 capful = 20ml for 800l of water Just nice for a 522. Most of the time while the water is filing up, i will go down for a smoke thus only adding the AC when the tank is almost full or after the tank is full. ![]() |
