Hey guys!
So on Saturday, I'm hopefully picking up a new/second hand tank. I'm yet to see it, but judging by the pictures and speaking to the owner, it looks and sounds like it's in pretty good condition! So I'm a little excited!
This tank is going to house my current bunch of cichlids.
1x 7 bar Frontosa
2x Blue/Green Texas
3x Johanni
3x Electric yellows
Dimensions are 150 x 48 x 58Hcm.
The tank comes with an Aqua One 1200 cannister filter. I'm assuming it's going to need another?
I'm planning to have white sand as the substrate, with a wall of limestone and coral and lots of hidey holes.
I also have a fully cycled 95L (Dont worry, the above cichlids weren't in that tank!)And I am planning on taking the filter pads and limestone noodles(?) out of this and putting them in the new canister filter to help kick-start the cycling. I was also going to put majority of the water that my cichlids are in now, into the new tank, as well as the sand.
Do you think it's possible to chuck my fish in straight away since having established filter media in there and the substrate?
Was planning on posting photos of the process if anyone is interested. No one in my family really cares about fish etc So I'm on my own with this one and feedback would be nice!
