How should I transfer my tropical fish, water, etc to a larger tank? - how old do you have to be to get into a new zealand casino
I had bought a tank of 47 liters of fresh water for about 3 years and recently had a tank of 63 liters. I want to transfer everything from the old tank in the back, but I've never seen anything like this before and I do not know how.
The new tank has a new earth, a stronger light and heat and more efficient.
The old tank has a good filter Eheim, about 20 platys, neon tetras 6 guppies and four men. That's all I want to transfer, and (plants and water and cut if necessary). I do not put gravel in the tank of the old ones.
My old filter properly sized for the new tank, but I wonder if I should run the filter on the new tank before the transfer of fish. Or should I transfer allEC and fill with fresh water?
I'm also a little worried about the pH value - is needed to exactly the same on the new tank before the transfer of more fish?
I consider myself a novice and I get confused when people start to CO2 and nitrates, etc. to go, so if someone I would be a simple step by step instructions can be very grateful.
I am also in New Zealand so I do not have many of the same brands and stores for pets in the United States in May or in the United Kingdom.
Thanks in advance

You have answered your question ...
O ".... I transfer all at once, and fill with fresh water?
Everything you need to do is to safe water in the tank to make is quiet dechlorinated at the same temperature (between 2-4 degrees is fine), and about the same pH value (can not be. 4, provided them with neutral (7.0). Transfer is your old filter and fish ... all that.
They can run the new filter with the old filter for 4 weeks out to sow ... then remove, if desired.
Beauty is .... If you want other fish in the tank at the age of 4 weeks, you can do so by simply shifting the filter again (no bicycle is required) agency.
Ok, take a deep breath and DO NOT PANIC. When you are ready to begin, get a bucket. I suspect you have a tip that are used can to put a little water into the tank. Once you have a portion of their water in buckets (clean but not washed with soap, of course), the use of net and put in the bucket while you do the rest.
It is OK, while you do the rest. If you are worried about it, contact blocks only one thing on her doll, in connection with what they have oxygen and then you will not feel crowded. Also, by a little relaxation with them.
Configure your new container in which they want to live. Hopefully it will not have the same place as the tank you now. Who is a bit more complicated.
What dID .... My son took half of the old tank water and let it out the window, through the tube. He was then able to move, the old tank from the road. Unfortunately, the approach and the tank is cracked. Then he had to hurry ..... What a waste.
Once the tank was old and out of the way
the new stand in place and the new gas cap. Then he started in a bucket of rocks to dive. Then he put the rock back into the tank.
He planted the bomb in the filter, but retains the filter (which is important because your natural bacteria in the filter and need to know), has not connected before you put water in.
I saved half of the water, so I returned to the tank. Then connect the hose to the faucet, sand warm (tropical plants and requires that filled the cichlids), and on the tank.
Then clip in the filter. Place in decorations and fake plants and I succeeded. Then we disconnected the heater ()
Once again, my other son connected to the heater and placed in a tank and Busted. Then we had to hurry ... Get the fish, drain the tank and start over. It was a disaster.
Allow the heater to remain in the tank just before the connection
If you give up a fund to back, by the way, do it before you start the tank in place. It is much easier. We forget that the bottom is not yet available.
Now the filter will work in a water and heating, and not my cityWater, we also have water, but still the air conditioning. Also put some pressure on the franchise when the fish in the tank.
If you are using an old water, you can leave the fish in the reservoir of age, while empty, and as low very low, then use the network to capture and transfer to a new tank. It is easy to assume so.
I have moved this way and even the rocks after they returned to the tank. I was so scared that the fish could be harmful, but they survived .... unbelievable to me. Then I put the ornaments and artificial flowers in strange, is not it?
It's easy, so people freak out on nitrates and so on. I did not even have a test kit is not that awful? I can say, as do the fish.
After an hour or two when all are in the new tank, the filter is doing its work and are planning to .... when running the fish to crazy, a few drops of stress reduction. Sometimes fish need to cope with a little help.
Not immediately after collection to feed. Wait a few hours before feeding. Do not let them get it settled first.
Hope this helps. Let us know how the move. I am sure he will do well, but also fish. Smile.
Do you want this new deposit in the same place as the old one? Or a place from scratch?
For the previous location, and emptying the tank when he was left quarter of the fish, and container. It is well for a while. More Scoop good drainage and gravel. Remove the plants and decorations. Remove the filter Eheim. Gently roll the tank is completely empty.
Now, for the creation of a new reservoir, rinse them again before the spread of gravel in the tank. Fill the tank with hot water (78 degrees). Rinse the Eheim, but nothing changes. There are bacteria in the filter material. Run this filter in the tank again. Check after half an hour, temperature. If it too cold to warmer water in the tank. Check your heating system again whenBut the light, that is, it still works. Conditioners use of water and chlorine neutralizer. Float your fish in a plastic bag on the tank. After an hour, check the water heater. The temperature must be maintained. Good luck.
