New Filter Has Arrived, Help With Cycled Media Etc...

[jasminekiddell]

Hey! My new stingray filter just arrived! Could i use half of my goldfishes cycled media and put it into the new filter along with the new media thats already in?
Also stingray are underwater filters but i usually have it bubbling because if the fish swims upto it it really sends then flying lol, what do you think under or above waterline?
Thanks!

Hi jasmine, that's fine to pop half of the mature media into the filter, the new media that is removed from the stingray can then be placed in the goldfish tank filter to cycle quicker, keep the filter under the waterline just redirect the spout so that it is against the wall of the tank near the corner, this should help lessen the flow

Thanks for that! I'm sort of excited to see if the fish like it haha
