Hi,
I currently have a Juwel Rio 125 litre (33 US Gallons) tropical tank which has been established since 2008. I do 26 litre weekly water change (6 US Gallons) and add aquarium salt and Aqua Safe..
I am upgrading to a Juwel Trigon 190 litre tank (50 US Gallons) The filters in the new tank are exactly the same as the old one. The new tank will be set up for Peacock Chiclids I've been told I can put the old filters into the new tank with some of the gravel and approx 50 litres (13 US Gallons) of the tank water and top up with fresh water, leave it running for a week then check readings and if all ok add fish. It makes sense to me but is it correct? Also can someone give me the correct Nitrate, Nitrite, Ammonia and PH range levels for Chicllids.
Thanks
