So I'm about to enter my 4th week of fishless cycling. I have not recieved any NitrIte yet. My ammonia level is about 4-5ppm using the api test kit. My ph is 7.4-7.6. My heater levels is about 85 degrees. I'm using an Aquaclear 50 hob.
My question is, I recently bought a hydrosponge 1 filter and I was wondering if I can leave that filter in my friends aquarium to collect the bacteria. Then after a few days, can I add that sponge filter to my tank to "jump start" this cycle?
