Recently rescued a red wolf fish from a neighbor and had no choice but to put him in an uncycled tank... It is a 55 gallon and he is in there by himself.... I am having issues keeping my ammonia down even with 30-50 percent water changes daily with prime.... I have been doing this for nearly a month and ain't seeing any relief! I have more then enough filtration( aqua clear 70 and a aqueon filter for up to 45 gallons) I also have a bubble wall and a bubbling decoration I have been trying to keep the ammonia below .25 and it's posing a problem sometime rising above to .50...... I have a gravel substrate and was thinking of changing to sand as it helped with keeping waste on the top in my other tank..... I have a spare (empty) 36 gallon I could put him in for a few days well the sand settles after filling.... My question is if I use the current water from his tank to fill the 36 and put both my filters on it will I lose any or all of the progress I had made with the cycle?
