OK so I'm getting a 40 gallon and I'm trying to reduce the amount of time to cycle by introducing media from my 10 gal
I thought of a few ways:
1. Moving all my decor/live plants from the 10 to the 40
2. Moving a lot of my substrate from the 10 to the 40
3. Taking my filter cartridge out of my Aqueon 10 gallon filter and swishing it around my 40 gallon
4. Moving some of my water from the 10 to the 40
Is there any other methods I missed? Even using techniques like these, how long would you say the cycle would take? Should I still do it fishlessly?
