Pretty much, though if you're leaving it for a few days, you might need to be cautious of bacteria die off, as there will be less waste in the water column for the bacteria to survive on.

What might be best is to move everything over to the new tank in one go. You're filter won't have to work any harder, as you've got the same level of fish stock. In theory you don't even need to move any water. The one thing you need to be cautious of is the temperature of the water, and that...

What's the fluval internal filter? I'm guessing something like a 2+? It might be worth considering a larger filter if you can aford it :) If so, now would be a good time to get it in there IMO, so it cycles at the same time as your old filter...

Hah, tell me about it. My current plans will have 5 tanks setup. 90cm "iwagumi" rock scape, 100cm mid light crypty moody scape, little opti-white nano, 30cm shrimp cube and a 60cm AquaOne tank I've yet to decide what to do with (it's a holding tank temporarily).

For the same effect, research making your own black water extract. Good for tetras and bettas etc, specially for breeding. Check out George's chocolate gourami journal for a good example :) I believe you can use dead/dried oak leaves instead of ketapang too.

That's a tad anoying! Thanks for the interpretation James :) So I assume I'd be fine just dosing Magnesium as per EI ppm's?

Heres a link to the detailed report: http://www.stwater.co.uk/upload/pdf/ZWA09%20-%20Stonleigh%20Kirby%20&%20Stivicall.pdf Hardness (Total) as Calcium averages at 68.25 ppm As for Magnesium it doesn't seem to say (unless I'm reading it wrong).

Hey all. I'm looking for help understanding my tap water supply, in relation to my GH/KH and in relation to dosing EI (should I be adding Potassium/Magnesium Sulphate etc). My water report is as follows: Can anyone help me decipher this? Thanks in advance! :)

You want to be able to process 3ppm of amonia in 12 hours before it's ready, then do a water change to sort out the nitrates and I believe you should be good to go, but add fish slowly over at least several days.
