All my water chem readings indicate my tank has finished cycling. I've read many places to do at least an 80% water change at this point.
I just got my hands on a brand new 20g tank for $5 and I know patience is the name of the game with saltwater tanks, but since I've only got one filter and everything in my 10g is cycled, can I just put my existing water, filter, LR, sand, and coral banded shrimp in the 20g and add water of same salinity and temp to top the tank off?
Or am I just asking for trouble? How can I go about this as safely as possible??
