swappin tanks

As most of u know i will b upgradin 2 about a 25-30gallon i was wonderin if its ok 2 scoop the gravel out of the tank i hav at the minute and in2 my new tank ? then i will also put all the water from my old tank in2 the new 1 after i bag up my fishies i will also put the filter in2 the new tank without changin the filter cartridges

i also plan 2 put new gravel in2 my new set up so i take it i will not hav 2 cycle my new tank after swappin everythin over ?

cheers

Re: swappin tanks

Craig, If you move the contents of your 20 to a 25/30, along with the unchanged filter, you won't have to cycle the tank and the fresh water you add to fill the larger tank will act as a partial water change.* I've done this successfully in the past myself.* * ** Glenn
