I have a fully mature 36 gallon bowfront, it has been running for at least 2 years.
I am about to change the filter media, and was wondering,
I just started a small 20 gallon aquarium (there are 5 green neon tetras in it)
If I cut a piece of my 36 gallon's filter media (I'm thinking about 1" by 2" and place it in the new tank's filter with the new filter cartridge,
Will I skip all the annoyances of cycling a new tank?
