Hi Guys,

I am in the process of getting an upgrade from my 4ft tank (220l) to a 6ft (700l) tank.

What is the best way to approach this ? i was thinking, clean the new gravel thoroughly, transfer the old filters, and plants, fill around half way with aged water, then transfer 75% of the old tank water to the new tank, fill the rest of the way, wait until temp normalises then transfer fish.

so the only new stuff will be a 6ft tank, gravel and a sump

I will run my two eheims, and transfer all plants and driftwood

1) will this be ok ?
2) in effect this will mostly cycle in the new tank right ?
3) is there a better way ?
4) any thoughts ?

ta
