I'm redesigning my 200L and I'm getting tide of everything and going from an amazon biotop to a river/mountain/stream biotope
At the moment my fluval is in a bucket with heater, rocks, sand and 5 ppm of ammonia.
When I have the tank full of water and with all the decorations in will wi have to do a mini cycle? All the bacteria will be I the filter and it won't be on the sand and plants etc..
My question:
Will I have to do a mini cycle to get all the bb onto the sand etc?
If so how long will be a good amount if time? 2-3 weeks?
Also will the small amount of sand in the bucket with the fluval act as seeded stuff? (so will the sand carry bb?)
