Hello everyone!
So I have two tasks to do: cycle a twenty gallon long for my five year-old cousin's birthday, and the cycle my twenty high for myself. I kinda wanted to cycle them at the same time, becaue I will be in school in a month and it takes about a month to cycle, no? So I have a few questions.
My filter has three medias in there: a sponge, carbon, and floss with some sort of white pebbles in it. I was wondering if I could take out the carbon and the floss and cycle both of the tanks with it. Would there still be enough bacteria in the sponge to keep the tank from fluctuating in levels?
Also, do you think I should do a fish-less cycle or do a fish-in cycle? Since both the carbon and the floss have bacteria on them, do you think I could insta-cycle the tanks? How would you do that?
Thank you very much!
