I am upgrading from a ten gallon with a HOB filter to a 55 gallon with a Fluval canister.
I cut a piece of the media from the ten gallon that has been cycled and put it in the Fluval canister two days ago. I also added 3 small fish to continue the Ammonia production.
I have tested today and the results are : Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0.
I thought from what I have read that if I add media from an established tank then my tank will be considered cycled already? Why am I getting 0 readings still?
I have still a few more small fish to add from the ten gallon, but I didnt want to overwhelm the ammonia production until the 55 gallon showed cycled. What should I do? when can I add the remaining fish?
