New 3Ft

[lukes280]

OK i have a new 3ft tank to upgrade from my 2 1ft tanks which are all in 1 1ft tank at the moment. 3/4 of the water from one of the 1ft tanks i put in the 3ft tank which barley filled it up, so i filled it up with tap water (took ages ha). i am using a 2006 ehiem filter which i now ant anoth to filter the tank but i have got a spare 2008 ehiem which i was going to put in until i get my external filter for Christmas. My 2006 is running already but my 2008 is in the 1ft tank. i have left it for 3days now and it went really mist on the second day. This usually means good bacteria has kicked in. I dont own a test kick yet so i put my guppy's in this morning and seam to be doing well. i was going to leave them in till tomorrow and then ad my angels and all that.

is this ok?

Is the 2006 seeded at all? Its hard to tell what you want to know as the English is quite bad. Also did you de-cholorinate the tap water that you added to the 3ft?

what you mean by seeded and no i left it for three days, i have always done it as it takes 24hours for the choline to be extracted from the water.

As in has the 2006 been in a tank with fish before (has it got any friendly bacteria in the filter = seeded)?
