So, I've been caring for fish for a while now, but I still have my share of mess ups... sad

So I currently have 2 x 10g tanks, three 15 filters (i.e. up to 15 gal tank), two heaters (5-15 gal), 9 fish (about 11.5 inches total), a few plants, all the decorations.

Now, what I will be doing is moving EVERYTHING over to the 33g tank... Any advice on if I can do the move at once, equipment, etc, that stuff?>

Will I be fine just using 2 filters/heaters for 15 g tanks in the 33g?

Cheers.

you should be able to do it all at once no problems. Your two filters and heaters will work as well for the tank smile just try to keep/use as much of the old water so your fish will be less stressed by the move. So I say your plan is a go (as long as you have compatable fishies) razz

The techie aspect should be fine. What fish species do you have?
Oh and when moving, do it slowly, don't dump the fish and water in the tank directly, let the water rest for an hour or so before bringing in the fish. try to put the shyer fish in first and the more agressive/dominant ones last.
