Icic. Thanks for your input, do you take extra precaution to sand-paper the sharper edges ?

[QUOTE=Schmike;7008998]u can salt bath ur new tank to treat the silicon. i was using that method for all my brand new tanks previously. the salt just add as much as possible. after that just drain off all the water before u fill up the tank. i think i used ard 20kg for my 422 back then.

for brand new tank u still can use back old medias just like what i did. my 422 is only ard 350 litres of water. this new setup is more than 800 litres. only ard 300 litres was transferred over. i need to top up more than 500 litres with direct tap water.

if the pH is roughly the same ur fishes will b fine. just need to take note of the chlorine/chloramine issue.

there is no such thing as cycle-less method.

ic..thanks for the tip..cause i thought yours was a new tank..haha

welcome. if u want to know what i use when i fill up the water u go to LFS n ask for hypo. its in crystal form. but very strong. need to use with care.

i use that together with my last bit of seachem prime n my new bottle of sera aquatan.
