Tank Upgrade Questions...

[Phil Marsh]

Hi all
i am having a bit of trouble with my new tank.
I have gone from a 30L tank to a 95L tank
I put all the old filter media and stones decor etc from the old tank into the new one and part filled with the old water.
How ever my tank is now going through another cycle?
the stocking hasn't changed at all so i'm a bit confused here
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

probally just a mini cycle ...happens when upgrading sometimes.
 
few questions though was 30l tank in use long time(established)
 
just check water for nitrates ammonia nitrites for few days ...if need to do some water changes till numbers are reduced to acceptable levels.
 
just patience and all will be ok

Hi
thanks for the reply! 
yes the 30L had been running for just over a year.
i have done 2 water changes so far to get the nitrites down to 0
how ever they seem to be sorting itself out now the nitrite went from 0.25ppm (this morning) to around 0.10ppm (this evening) so i guess it shouldnt take long now
Thanks again!
