So I've got a 38 gallon planted setup right now and I'm running a fluval 406 filter. I'm planning on upgrading to a 75 in a month or two and it's going to go in roughly the same place as the 38.
If I were to get the water from the 38 into the 75 and continue using the same filter, could i just move my plants and fish into the new setup? I dont know if I trust my floors enough to leave the old tank up while the new one cycles... I'd rather just swap the 38 out after transferring everything over.
The bioload isn't huge, especially for a 75. There are 18 tetras of various species, 2 whiptail cats, and 2 L037 and L239 plecos that are pretty small.
Also, I'll likely be swapping the 406 out for an fx5 or fx6 after the new tank is established.
