So i recently got a new canister filter, and a new tank, and I was planning to add the canister filter to my old 66 gallon tank, and move the filter from that one to my new 55 gal tank. How long should i leave both filters running in my tank, before i can set up my new one with the old filter?
Also, because i am transferring the old filter over, along with some water, should i still be doing a full cycle, will my ammonia and nitrates jump, or have i avoided all that by moving a fully cycled filter over. ( i'm pretty sure i'm safe, but i wanted to make sure, and my LFS is kinda a far ways away. )
