Hi, I have been asked by a member to give them some mature media. I am more than happy to do this but am a bit concerned about the amount.

How much can I reasonably take out of my filter withour risking a mini-cycle? I figure about a third.

Yes, a third is about right. Do make sure tyou replace the media you take out with some new so the bacterial colony can re-populate it :good:
 
I alway mention these things, just in case; we all have moments where we forget the obvious!

I have forgot to put the media back in my tank twice now after doing a water change! Thinking "somethings not quite the same here". Then going to look in the bathroom seeing my filter media in the bucket still :lol:
