Hand me down tank

I would get another 10g or put some of the fish in a tote or just put them in DT if levels stay in check. You may not get a big cycle at all.

Just watch the ph and nitrates.

 

The SG in all the are exactly the same right between 1.022-1.023 and the temp is right around 78 in both the qt and the 55g

They have been in the qt for 3 days now.

Thanks, so is the all around recommendation switch them over is everything is about even SG and temp wise??

 

on what i've heard I would switch them and then do daily (or twice daily) water tests until your done cycling

it may not be text book but I think at this point it's time to go for it! :0)

Good luck and keep posting!

 

Ok I will go ahead and do the switch thanks everyone and I will deff keep you all posted and I will take some pics when I get a chance ;D

 

bump and again good luck

 

OK so the fish are doing very well from what I can tell they are swimming around and are very active, and they also have their sleeping areas figured out lol, but my PH has gone up since I have them in but it is right where it should be at 8.1 my ALK is reading 2.1ish Ammonia is 0 Nitrite 0 and Nitrate 0 should I worry about the PH going up anymore or will it stay about the same now?? Is there anything else I need to check water parameter wise?

 

Sounds like you have it goin on to me! Keep an eye on ammonia nitrite nitrate and ph just to be sure but I think you are better with the fish in the bigger tank now than the stress and fast parameter movement of the little qt tank. just my humble opinion though.
