I just got a new canister filter today and was going to hook it up and relized that i have to get rid of my old waterfall filter for the hoses to fit I was just wondering if i removed it would it be harmful to my fish since the new filter doesnt have any bacteria in it? Its big enough i think my old filter cartrige will fit in one on the baskets would that work to get the bacteria in the new filter?

Put the old cartridge in the new filter any way you can or you will lose the bacteria and have a nasty mini-cycle.
