Hey all, I currently have a 30 gallon tank that is over 2 years old and already "established" with great levels upon water testing. I just purchased a 10 gallon tank for my bedroom, complete with a new filter and heater. Right now I don't have any gravel, declarations, or fish in there, just the tank and water. I want to start the cycling process ASAP. I am wondering what my options are, especially given that I have another tank that is up and running. The filters are different, so I can't just use my old filter media in this new filter. But could I just "lay it" in the tank to help the BB process? Or can I used some of the decorations I have in the old tank to help? I have more than enough fish in my current tank, some more hearty ones like tetras and other small/cheap community fish that could also start the cycle. Finally, I only added Prime to the water in the new tank, so that itself wouldn't start the cycling process right? Just looking for some answers/suggestions from you guys! Also, will be purchasing gravel in the next week, is this okay to delay for the time being? Thanks guys
