General Aquarium Life Expectancy...and Could Someone Please Tell Me Why This Keeps Happening to our Tanks?

Then you need to use it more ;) :) Or at least post your numbers so we can see. I'm a lame tester except in your possibly "dire" kind of thing.

I know you are dealing with an emegency situation. You don't have to start all over with cycling...but you need to know what's happening & how moving filters & media may impact your current & new tank. Don't get ahead of things, go slow, your fish will be happier & healthier.

I would also suggest feeding lightly so your bb aren't overwhelmed with waste & ammonia. The fish will be fine.

That's a bit harsh; I'm still, in the midst of this, attempting to deal with the sorrow of my mom's passing, so cut me some slack please.

We didn't even buy the new tank yet; a lot going on here.
 
You don't need the new tank yet to test the 29g. It may be OK...or not, there's 1 way to tell if it's cycled.

Since you've been posting for almost 2 weeks after your mother's death, I thought you might not be too grief stricken to test the 29g. Apparently I was wrong...you could have just said that you needed some time out for a while. "harsh" is too strong for what I & others have suggested. By continuing the thread we assume you still want tank help. Cut me & everyone else some slack...we're not mind readers
 
Wow. Just wow.

That's all I can say when someone's parent dies and I'M asked to cut YOU slack. Absolutely incredible.

The way I mourn may be different from others -- to snidely say "I thought you might not be too grief stricken to test the 29" is beyond remorseless.

Whatever; I will get the new tank and act accordingly.
