Setup my new 29 gal high w/ Aquatech 30-60 HOB. Used Eco-complete for the first time (filled tank, put Eco in w/ new filters day before plants & fish). Used Prime on temp matched water. Put in my plants, acclimated my fish & old bio filters. Left 2 fish & 1/2 the bio filter media in the old tank--a 15 gal column. Also left all the gravel, plastic plants & large decos.
Today, the new tank had .5ppm Ammonia, ZERO NitrItes & ZERO NitrAtes. The old tank had perfect parameters before I moved stuff, so I'd assume I'd get an instant cycle w/ the new tank since I moved pretty much all the fish. Is there a theory on what to expect here?? A few days or a week or two of this mini cycle? Or am I lookin at a full fish-in cycle? ACK!! Ha ha...
