Advice On New Tank Setup......please!

[clairebear76]

We've had a small 34 litre tank for a few months now but want to upgrade. Its the hubby's birthday soon so its an ideal excuse to treat ourselves, er sorry....him (lol) to a new tank. Hopefully going to go and get it sometime next weekend.
We've seen a Fluval Roma 125 complete setup in our lfs sale which we both like the look of, but this comes with an internal filter. Now, our current tank has a hood filtration system, with ceramic noodles. Is there any way we can transfer our lovely ammonia eating bacteria from our noodles to our new tank to speed up the cycling?

Hi Clairebear, lovin' the name

There might be space in the Fluval filter to add your noodles, if not you could put an external filter on it which will definately give you the space.

Hi, if you cannot get the noodles in your new filter then pop them in a media bag (available from lfs) and suspend them by your filter intake. The bacteria will find it's way
