im getting a new tank this sunday! however, i will have to temporarily put my oscar in a ten gallon tank. he is 4 inches max and he will only be in the ten gallon until sunday. if i move the filter and some water from his tank to fill the ten gallon will it be good to go?

Just keep an eye on your water readings Hun... it may require a few extra water changes... How big is the new tank?

the new tank is a 55. the oscar has been in a 30 bad i know but i also knew i would be getting the proper sized tank before he got to big. its also only him in the tank btw.

you will get away with it for a short while. Move him to the 10g the night before and dont feed him until moving him to the new tank.

however cant you get the new tank, strip down the old tank (put the oscar into a container), and then straight away set up the new tank

no i cant do that. its going to be a trade. my aquarium for theirs.

good luck. like mentioned, go easy on the feeding during the transition.

will do! thanks!

Well good luck, move them into the 10g the night before

i will. i also going to put the filter cartridge in the 10 gallon filter right before i have to move it to trade

alright just wanted to prepare everyone for before and after pics tomorrow! before will be the 30 gallon and after will be the 55. im so excited!

we will be waiting for pics =]
what type of filtration will you have on your 55gal???

sadly i wont know until i see it tomorrow. im assuming its an HOB. but i want to build my own filter anyway out of the spare 10 gallon i have so im not to worried about it. i will need lots of help though so look for that post in the next week or two!
