Hey all only been in the hobby a month. what ive learnt is that small tanks are harder to keep as parmeters chane easily. and it limits fish size a lot, i have a 17 Gallon ( Euro) that i thought was quite big but its actually a Nano, So far the tanks recently Cycled and i only have a clean up Crew in.
Yesterday i Saw a tank on ebay which is double the size which came with a nice cabnit and a sump, i expected the winning bid to be around £300 (english pounds) but i Just won it for an astonishing £100 (roughly $168) This is the Link to the Item. i expect i can get at least half that back selling my brand new cabnit and tank, so its barely cost me anything.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7742645773
i think its about 39 Gallons
What i want to know is would it be best to transfer the water from my cycled Tank with LR etc and then just top up with Ro water of the same SG, obviously i wil need more LR and put my Clean up crew in a better home over the transfer?
Will it need to cycled again?
