Sherida, one way to help kick start your new "bigger" aquarium is to use the filter media from the old tank. DO NOT rinse it in tap water, use either old tank water, or clean water that is aprox the same temp and declorinated. Save any old gravel, and the same with that, use old tank water to rinse it. Gravel, old plants, decor of any kind is going to have Bio on it, it doesnt just grow in the filter. .... you see something slimey....... use it
