Adding aqua soil to established tank
Hello everyone. This is my 55 gallon that has been running for about 8 months now. Highish tech with co2.
This weekend I am moving houses and will have to transfer this tank to the new place. This tank was my first, and after learning some things I would like to try out another scape, using more of the plants and styles I like. My question is this: will adding aqua soil to the new aqua scape ruin my cycle and potentially harm my fish? And is there a safest way to do so? I will be using the same filter, some of the same hardscape, some of the sand, and most of the same plants. Will the beneficial bacteria I have be able to handle the ammonia load of adding fresh aqua soil? I should add that I have a second tank on standby that I will be able to build my new aquascape in, but am trying to move everything over in one day.
Stocking is 7 pristella tetras, 4 blue neon rasboras, 5 rummynose tetras, a bunch of Amanos, cherry shrimp, and snails. Plan to add more after next tank is established.
Thank you for the help!
