Moved a 29g that was given to me last night. The following is what we did to maintain the 'good' bacteria:
-Saved about 1/3 of the water
-Saved and did not rinse the gravel
-Kept the Bio-Wheel on the filter and the gravel wet
When we set it back up we:
-Added tap water and enough API Stress Coat and Aquarium Salt for the 20g or so we had to add back
-Added more gravel on top of the old, plus cosmetic goodies
Its current filter is an Aquaclear 150 (now called a 30). It moves 150 gal per hour. I'm thinking this may actually be borderline for my 29g, especially if I stock it to the max as we beginners are prone to do
So can I add some 'starter' fish (thinking Danios) or should I wait?
