I tested all of the tanks and they are all the same water parameters. So I started swapping fish. All of the starter fish out of the 135 to the 50 gallon, all but the L183s to the 50 gallon and L18, 2 L333, L129, L200, ancistrus sp. 5 and the synodontis eupterus went into the 135 gallon. I want to gradually raise the bioload in the 135 and I figure with the 16 fish that were in there that the 7 bigger fish would at least keep it the same or it would raise a little. I still need to put L190 and L260 into the 135.

funky just keep an eye on your water stats to make sure your tanks can handle the increased load before you move any more fish especially the 135 gal which you need to build up slowly

I would be careful swapping lots of the fish like that, because it might stress the bio-lode and the fish!

No need to tell Funky.

He's just got off the roller-coaster, and those legs are still shakin' !

Kana I think it was the ride to OZ and back that had my legs shaking.
labrakitty, everything is good. Remember that the smaller fish don't have the same load on the bacteria as the bigger fish do. Thats why there was 13 smaller fish in the 135 and I swapped out the 13 small ones for the 7 big ones. The 50 gallon was WAY over maximum stocking. I tested all the tanks last night and everything is excellent. I think I might be able to do just one 12, maybe 6 gallon water change on the 50 gallon. I'm really happy with the way everything is turning out.

glad to hear your tanks are running ok now

Me too. Everybody seems happy.

which should mean you will be happy too
