I have a cycled 55 gallon tank that's been running for almost six months. I am about to get a new fish, so I am re-establishing my QT tank. It was broken down and bleached last week.
It's now up and running, new filter, new gravel, nice sparkling clean. I have 4-6 cups of gravel from the 55 gallon tank in a mesh bag sitting in the tank. I'm also dosing it with ammonia to bring the ammonia up to 4.0 ppm.
Given these conditions with the seed material, how long should my cycle take?
