Hi,
I've a query, I need to think about downsizing slightly, from 7 tanks to perhaps three. At this point the largest tank is 450l, with several smaller from 70 to 220.
I'm thinking of creating at most three tanks, 1 for Africans, 1 for everyone else, and a smaller as a Q or maternity ward tank. The 450 is the community, it has 1 2400l canister on it, plus a less than smashing internal thing for flow, the cichlids currently have two canisters combined 2400 as well.
Anyways, I'm wondering if I can just remove all the plants, wood and fish from the 450 over to the current chichlid tank, and vice versa, so swapping community and Africans around. If I pretty much empty the cichlid tank, then Refill, plant, scape etc will that be ok for community (from platys to discus), OR should I empty everything from both, clean it all and then return, rescale etc. I was thinking of setting up the three canisters to run via a laundry sink whilst all this was happening with treated water.
Besides probably sitting in plastic bins for awhile, can anyone forsee any issues with doing this?
Thanks
Michael
