I purchase a 5 Gallon tank to be a QT tank.
The 5 gallon was setup 4 days ago and I threw in a bunch of media (cut filter pad, plants, gravel) from my 55G tank which has been establish for a while now. I dose the ammonia up to .50 the first day but it hasn't gone down yet. I've read that I could instantly cycle my tank with loads of seeded media but its' not the case here.
I've read online that it's almost impossible to cycle a small tank. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with cycling a 5 gallon or smaller tank.
