Hi,
I was put in charge at work of moving the three goldfish into a new bigger tank. The poor guys have been living in a cramped 5gal tank and it was about time to do something about it. We got a 20Gal tank and I just set it up today. I used city water and to condition it I used aqua-plus from Hagen and plan on leaving it running until monday, so the water warms up to room temperature, when I plan on moving one goldfish into the tank to start the cycle. In the old tank I added another sponge to the filter a couple months back to help filtering and I plan on using it on the new tank to help with the bacteria growth. My question is about timing. When should I move the sponge? Before the goldfish, How far ahead? At the same time? After? How long after? Obviously once the fish is in there I will keep an eye on the water quality and put up with water changes. Anything else I should be doing? thx. |
