I'm going to pick up a used 55 today and the seller still has the tank established (3 fish.) I don't anticipate being able to setup the tank until early next week but I'd like to avoid having to do a long cycle to reestablish appropriate levels in the tank. They have asked me what prep I want done to the tank but I'm not sure what to tell them. Will keeping the gravel and filter wet until I'm ready to set the tank up again maintain the integrity of the system even if I don't have fish in there? If so, how long?
Any help you can give would be much appreciated!
