Hi All, I am upgrading from a 46 to a 72 gallon tank. Unfortunately the new tank has to be in the same location as the old so I can’t get the new one running without taking down the old tank. How is this plan?
- Disconnect heaters, filters and light
- Drain 30 gallons from current tank into clean 5 gallon bucks
- Use a bucket to scoop piranha into 5 gallon bucket
- Slide tank and stand out of the way
- Move new tank and stand into place
- Take substrate, driftwood, plants etc from old tank and move to new
- Set up old filters, heater and light on new tank
- Add 25 gallons new dechlorinated and conditioned water to new tank. Same temp as old water
- Add fluval cycle treatment
- Add old water to new tank
- Add piranha
