Moving into a 160g
Well, I built myself a plywood tank of approx. 160g (63x24x24) and have a few questions. I will be moving from my 40 to the new 160. Any suggestions on how I should do this? I have been saving water from water changes that i've done on the 40. I've got about 65 lbs of LR in the 40 and bought an additional 130 lbs of base rock. Should i put the base rock in the water that i've been saving from the 40? Can this move be done safely in one day if I use the filter media, sand and LR from the 40? I'm assuming there will be some die off from the LR, but if the params are close enough, and i've got about 50g of old water saved up that should minimize die off... any suggestions?
