Only if you enjoy more maintenance and as said less money in your pocket.

Water doesn’t hold bacteria only hard surfaces like the gravel and your old filter media. I would put your old media in the new canister along with the new media so it’ll seed everything. I’d put all new water make sure you use a declorinater and test it for ammonia before you add your...

The long stringy thing is fish poop I don’t know if you need to treat the fish for anything or is it going to have babies?

I also agree about a canister filter, I have a Fluvol 207 in a 46 and don’t hear anything. With you goldfish and larger tank I’d go larger but if setup right it’s way quieter then hang on back.

You should be fine don’t replace any of the media, definitely keep a close watch on your ammonia nitrites you might have a mini cycle which you’ll want to do water changes.

The thing is if your not adding any kind of ammonia source then your bacteria isn’t going to cycle anything.

As long as it’s not blowing them out of the ground a little movement makes it looks natural.

a divider in a 20 gallon would be plenty of room for each betta. If they can see through it they will flare at each other.

For low light corals yes that system would be fine for your reef setup. You sure can use the water from the ocean and sand, it’ll make water changes cheap and in a nano tank they are important because of the small size.

I’ve had salt water in the past and as far as nano being good for beginners the real answer is with any type aquarium the bigger it is the more forgiving it it’s with water perimeters. Reef aquariums are the pickiest since corals don’t want any nitrates.

Your doing a fish in cycle, which means you have to watch the ammonia and nitrites really close. You might want to read up on fish in cycling and do a lot larger water changes. Do you have access to anyones old filter media to seed your filter?

Personally I wouldn’t use it for that reason, maybe you’ve been lucky so far

When you move keep you filter in a bucket of tank water so your bacteria stays alive. Keep all the plants an rocks wet with tank water when you reset it up all should be cycled and ready for your new home.

Check the impeller the bottom of the rod has to go into a rubber end piece that is loose where the shaft goes. Fiddle with it and you can plug it in for a few seconds to see if it spins.

3 neons is pretty lonely for a schooling fish. Usually groups of at least 6 but a dozen is better then they wont be so timid.

old filter is the best for cycling new tank, decorations help but old water doesn’t matter bacteria doesn’t live in just the water

Really nice assortment of tanks and fish, everything looks great

When you installed the new filter did you take it all apart to rinse all the filter media and if any is wraped in any plastic take it off.

Read up about cycling a new tank, and depending on what type of filter you have on the existing tank you could hopefully speed up the cycling process. If you have a water testing kit for ammonia and nitrites and nitrates and ph good. If you don’t I would get a testing kit API is really popular...
