Hey everyone,
So wanted to ask for any tips on seeding or cycling a tank. I have a aquastart 320 (28L) which has been set up for 5 years and might upgrade to a aquastyle 620T (130L). I was thinking I could cut half the filter sponge from the tank and put it in the new one. I have an extra sponge so could cut that and put it in the old filter and let that establish bacteria or just squeeze the whole extra sponge in the filter now so it's got healthy bacteria in it.
How long would it take to cycle a new tank by seeding it?
