Cycling

[tennis4you]

I just set up a 125g tank. I need to get it cycled before I put fish in it (obviously).

I have a 55g that has a whisper filter system in it. In the filter system there are (2) white filters. Can I remove one from the 55g tank and basically just set it in the 125 gallon tank to help it cycle? I do not have a whisper filter in the 125g to set it in, it would basically just get anchored to the bottom of the tank. Is this OK or should I take a different route?

I have a 30g at work that I just took one of the filters from my 55 gallon and put it in the filter there, but it had water running through it and had an actual filter.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Is there a reason that you can't take one of the white filter things out of the whisper and insert it somewhere in the canister?
