I have had a small tropical tank for about 6 months now, and have this weekend set up a 180 litre Jewel tank. I put the gravel from the old tank into the new one, and halved the filter, putting half back into the old tank, with half of a newbie, and half into the new tank to get the cycle going. So far so good. Both tanks seem like they are doing fine. Yesterday I put in about 9 tetras, who all seem happy enough.
Now here is the problem. I also have a relatively newly set up cold water tank, I have to admit, I have probably overstocked it and done it too quickly, it has been up and running for three weeks now. The water is permantly cloudy, smells terrible. Have done a few 25% water changes, still cloudy. Now, do you think I would be able to put my tropicals into the new tank, and then use their (cooled) old water to do water change in the cold tank, and also put the old tropical filter in there alongside the one already in?
I really want and need to do the right thing here....
