Yea. It would be better than going through the trouble of taking everything out of the other tank and putting it in this one. I still cant believe you got that tank for $247. Im so jealous.
switch tanks???

it was ridiculous. We got a new maple stand for our 55g reg $289 for $72. I wish I had have gone in sooner as all the 70g and 90g they had were already sold, which is why I ended up with that one. Hell, it was such a good deal I had trouble not buying the other mahogany(sp?) stained oak 60g that's the same as the one I got!
So I decided to make the switch. We had to empty pretty much all the water out of the 55g to put it on the new stand anyway, so I figured might as well move everyone over and put the cichlids in the longer tank. It didn't take TOO long with both of us working on it. I moved MOST of the water over, but still had to add more tap water (conditioned of course) to the new tank than I would normally do with a water change. Unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be, our tap water has a pH of about 7.6, bad for angels and neons, good for africans. So because I ended up adding quite a bit more new water, my pH has gone up considerably... Hopefully everyone will be OK!
that is going to make a good angel tank..lots of vertical room.
now you have an excuse to go shop for a centerpiece driftwood for it

do you think this will send my tank into a cycle? I read on another post that switching tanks can do that. I used all my old gravel and filter media and all the plants and rocks/wood are all from the other tank as well. I thought there would be enough bacteria to keep me from entering a new cycle. Feeling a little paranoid, so I checked my levels ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate10
Should I bother checking my ammonia/nitrite daily?
