I cleaned up an old 15g turtle tank to use as my cichlid fry tank / shell-dweller tank.
I have an internal filter rated for 40 gallons with bio balls, carbon, and floss. I think I might take out the carbon and put in a sac of purigen.
In order to cycle faster, I'll take the purigen bag out of my cycled 75g tank. Should I rinse it first before using it or would that kill any bacteria living in the stuff?
For a tank housing such a small amount of small fish, I'm cycling it to 2 ppm of ammonia. Is that enough? Too much?
