NEW MONSTER : Another Monster Journey : Setting Up Monster 600 Gallon

[channarox]

I always squeezed the living crap (no pun intended) out of the filter media (sponges, filter socks, sponge filters and etc). Sometime I even take all the bio balls and let it float all over the surface.

Let all the crap spread all over, run the filter until you don't see a whole lot of floating detrious. Once they're gone, they's in your filter now..

I used ALL old water if moving to a larger tank. It makes them feel comfortable to have lesser stress.

You can always do a water change later on LOL

stan

yup.
i do the same and it works.

currently the barra tanks and the new tank water are all matching... except the ph on the new tank is at 7 and barra tanks are at 7.2

I'm wondering why I keep reading this thread and not subscribing
Problem now sorted

here is the plan over the next 5 days..

- pump 20% of 2 old tank waters into new tank.. daily...

- on the of the move.. drain 50% off the new tank... pump 2 old tank water in.. move both fish... then pump all the old water into the new tank...

Sounds just like what I did to start up my 6 foot shark tank.
