I have just set up my first aquarium. Well i say first, i have a 10l that i had a couple zebra danios in for a month or so, i then found out about fishless cycling and returned them to my lfs. So for a few weeks the tank has been empty bar some snails that came in on plants. For the few weeks that the tank has been *empty* i havent done any water changes.
I am going to begin fishless cycling my new 140l tank with flakes. My question is can i use the decor and filter pads from my 10l to help speed up the process?
The 10l parameters are as follows (without a water change for 3weeks ish) :
Ammonia - 0.2
nitrite - 0
nitrate - 10-20
The test kit is a ntlabs or aquarium lab test kit, not sure on the name?
Should i just cycle with flakes or use the filter pads aswell as the flakes?
Thanks!
