chad590 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hello everyone! I was wondering if there would be any problems seeding a filter on a different (non-shrimp) tank. The reason I ask, is that I have recently found out that the owners of the house i'm renting are moving back in two. Rather than setting up and cycling a tank while trying to pack, move furniture, and paint; I was wondering if I cold seed my new filter on my existing tank. The tank is only housed by a foot long ghost knife, and some plecos. No ferts, no meds, just food. Would there be any problems when i switch it over to my shrimp tank?

PlantDude Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't see any issues from that. That's one of the best ways to get your cycle going. chad590 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad590 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I just want to make sure. The tank gets only monthly water changes and just has a HOB filter. The tank will be gone forever as soon as that damned ghost knife dies. He's been through hell and back for almost a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpier Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 You should have no problems, I do it all the time. If the PH is going to be a huge difference I will try match it as close as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
