Switching fiters

[Cpapp13]

I have a 55 gallon tank with a marineland emperor 400 filter with bio wheels and I am planning on switching to an aquaclear 110... I've used aquaclear filters on my smaller tanks and have had a freak experience with them... The marineland filter is too loud for me

My question is how to switch filters without affecting my currently cycled tank

Run both filters for 2 weeks (the longer the better) then remove the old one and watch for a mini cycle. Or put all the old media in the new filter. You may need to cut it up to make it fit.
