SRC Member jas_soh Posted November 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 if i am not wrong you still need to cycle your "new" 4 ft tank... perhaps speed up cycling process by seeding it with a large portion of your existing 2' tank water and sandbed and filter media etc etc etc..... as you are increasing volume of your tank you would need to increase the amt of bacterias found in your new tank so as to meet the needs of your increased bioload....

SRC Member ah^siao Posted November 3, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 3, 2003 hmm.. cycle your 4 feet tank first? then slowly transfer lol. like after 4 weeks? unless u use all the old medium of your tank and the old water. i think u stil need abt 3 weeks.. ya.. too impatient go for 2 weeks.. anything die dun blame me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Hi... can i suggest that you be more descriptive in your thread title? Rather than just ' 2ft to 4ft tank', how about 'Upgrading from 2ft to 4ft tank, transfering livestock question.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
