anyone..please

You may experience a small cycle, though since you transferred all the water and filter (how about the substrate? That's a bacteria gold mine) you should be alright. I'd test it.

 

[awsomebichir]

what do i test for

 

[Adhlc]

Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonia. 24 hours after the first test, test again. Stay on top of it for the first week.

Please, tell us what kind of fish you have. We can then see if they are hardy or not.

[Nabbig2]
