Cycling / livestock transfer

[fkl]

Hi all. I have a 10 gallon AIO that's been running for over about a year now. I want to transfer everything or one clown fish, snails and shrimp to a new 30 gallon AIO. If I move all the rock, sand etc, can I transfer the livestock right away? I'll be adding new rock and sand to the new tank.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I used Bio Sphere to help with bacteria but not always needed.

I have Dr Tims. Can I add it?

Don’t add the sand, it’s got a lot of potentially bad bacteria and can really stir up some nasty stuff.

Bring in the rocks and fish and you should be good to go

Add the rock and some water and you are good to go. All the bacteria are in the rocks.
