How to speed up a fishless cycle?

[fishyperson3010]

Hi
How can I speed up my fishless cycle? I have a smaller tank so might be able to us some filter from that

Thanks

P.S. Should I put more ammonia in today I dosed it up to 4 ppm yesterday but don't have a test kit yet?

Hi, taking established media from your other tank and adding it to the filter of the new one will instantly cycle it. This would work if you have 2 filters on your old tank.

Do you?

No sorry but the filter pad on my smaller one is bigger than on the bigger tanks filter

Cut a piece off, put the whole cartridge near the filter intake, wash and squeeze it off in the new tank, add gravel from the established tank into the new filter, buy an activated sponge filter from angelsplus (if your in America).
