New tank with cycled filter

[kdrpeirce]

I have a 60 gallon tank that is cycled. I up graded to a 150 gallon. I am using the old hang on the back filter from the 60 gallon I change my substrate to eco complete. I added a canister filter too.
Will have to do another cycle?

Possibly a mini cycle but should be mild if you have the same bio load. Just wait a few weeks to make sure before adding more fish

Hello kdr...

The new, larger tank won't go through a cycle provided you add fish slowly. The good bacteria will reproduce quickly and you have the added benefit of almost three times the water to dilute any increase in toxic nitrogen (fish waste). Maintain the healthy minerals and pure water conditions in the tank by performing large, frequent water changes and the fish and plants will be fine.
