I Have A New Tank

[VictorMeldrew]

Hi all

I went out and picked up a new tank today, its a little 35l complete tank with T5 lighting, I was thinking of using it as a fragging tank and taking stuff from my bigger tank, this may be a stupid question but, is it just a case of taking water and a bit of LR from the big tank and away I go or not?

I have been on the forum a fair bit lately and have been looking at the smaller tanks and just had to have ago at one, so I am blaming you lot for making my front room look more like a lfs, especially Jenny, yep, its her fault

Anyway if anybody could give me a little advice as to set-up, that would be great.



Thanks
VM

i cant see why you cant take water and rock out your other tank and put it in there =]

I can not find a reason either bagu, I can not wait any longer, I am going to fill it up

Yep you can clone your old tank would hopefully mean no cycle. it is exactly what I did with my big tank - took everything out of my nano and holding tank and transefered it to my big tank

LOL, it certainly is addictive. I too blame Jenny, every time I go to my LFS there is a Fluval Edge staring at me, calling my name

Interested to see what you come up with

nice one btw

Thanks guys, job done It does not look much at the moment but the frags I have in there are already doing great, better than in the other tank, the little powerhead the tank came with seems to provide a nice gentle flow all round the tank but it's loud, I might have to look into replacing that some day.

Should I put a fish in it, would that benefit the frags at all? at the moment I am just putting small amounts of coral food in.

Thanks

You don't need a fish in there if you don't really want to. However if you would like a fish to provide some movement that'd be fine.

Have any pictures.

 

[SkiFletch]

Agree with KJ, corals do not require fish in tanks

Another way of saying ''please let me put fish in this tank, I'm dying too.''

Mwahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I love being blamed for stuff like this

VM, is this a Betta Lifespace tank? I have one just the same...and it's empty...........*scratches chin thoughtfully*

Trod...you know you have to

i vote u stick a blenny in there, you wouldnt see much of one in the big tank, but in there you wont regret it!

 

[TigerIssey]

Have to agree with Ben, a Blenny would be a nice addition. If you could find a herbiverous one like mine, it would kill two birds with one stone and help with any algae plus add character and movement. Ooops that 3 birds!!
