I've cycled a tank in 2 days with a mature filter, I'd be careful about full stocking that tank at once karate pig, I'd make sure to keep an eye on levels..
you won't, bb can lay dormant for weeks!Of course. I've got 800 gph filtration and a large sponge so I think I should be okay. I want to do the full load because I don't want to kill the beneficial bacteria.
