Is it possible to cycle a filter meant for a 6g tank if I use a bacteria? I just bought a 9g tank (Eheim Aquastyle) for a betta. I want to use an add-on filter instead of the stock one for low flow.
I'm thinking of getting a nano filter rated up to six gallons (if anyone is interested it is the Tom Mini) but using it in a planted 9g almost full of water. Is there enough media to cycle so I don't have to change the water more than once a week or so?
If this won't work, can anyone suggest a very quiet slow filter for a betta tank which can handle 9g of water?
Thank you!
