I've been keeping fish for just over a year now, but I still consider myself a newbie. I've currently got a 55 gallon planted aquarium stocked with one Angelfish, a pair of apistogramma macmasteri, a 3 inch bristlenose pleco, and 8 goyder river rainbowfish juveniles that are only 1 to 1.5 inches long. For filtration I have a Tetra whisper 60, a Fluval 306, and an Eheim 2213.
My question is this: I am about to set up a 75g aquarium for some South American cichlids. I also have a new Eheim 2213 that is essentially uncycled. Would it be safe for my 55g stock if I took the well cycled 2213 and replaced it with the new one, allowing me to use the fully cycled 2213 to jumpstart the 75? My planned stock list for the 75 is two yellow or royal acaras, one severum rotkeil, and possibly a pair of apistogramma.
Any advice would be appreciated!
