Hi, just a quick intro before I stick my question on!
I have been keeping goldfish for the last 2.5 years since my wife decided to let our daughter "win" one at our local fair. We felt guilty after having "bubble" -a very fine looking gold comet- in a bowl for a week, so there began my investment of my first aquarium albeit a small one- elite 35 litre.
After adding a few friends over time- now have 4 Goldfish and a butterfly plec (chinese hill stream loach says google)- I realised that the elite was just too small and have now invested in a 180 litre Juwel Vision tank. I wanted to set it up correctly and decided to google some pages and discovered this wealth of information that is fishforums. Unfortunately I also noticed an article which states my new tank is already too small!!! (The one that says 20 US Gallons for one goldfish & 10 Gallons each fish thereafter).
Another failing of mine was to have never tested my water, did that today on the old tank and was horrified with the results- Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 and Nitrate off the scale
although these are off strips which I have just paid a fortune for to read tonight that are worthless! Dad's pond beckoning!!!
Anyway, that was a long quick intro, now off to post my poser!
Thanks for reading.

Was going to ask if I could just place my old filter system in my new tank and add fish immediately-
Just searched and found the answer to my question here http
