Hi there,
I’ve recently started a new aquascape tank, so am currently starting the cycle.
I would like to know if the stuff I’ve used from my old tank would have enough good bacteria to start the cycle process?
I am using a filter from an old tank (which was washed out as it had sat stagnant full of water for a fair while), new aquasoil and sand/gravel, driftwood and plants (only a few) from my old tank. I also used the old gravel from my last tank (which had a quick rinse before adding) to build up some of the background. The driftwood, plants and old gravel went from the old tank into the new one 1-2days later.
I’ve also added more plants and a couple Platys to help it along.
Will this be enough??
Thanks in advance.
