I have a mature juwel filter running on my 40g tank and I'm about to set up a 20g tank. I didn't set up the 40g from scratch, so although I am maintaining the tank successfully, I'm still a little useless about cycling!!
My question is, my current filter is a Juwel, and I'm having a Fluval 3 in my 20g. Do I just put some sponge out of my original filter into the fluval? and if so, how? being different sizes etc??? OR, should I run the filter in my 40g tank instead? Which would work best, and quickest??
ALSO... I'm setting up a divided tank for 3 bettas, with mini box filters.. how do these work in terms of bacteria, because don't you replace the media each time?? Do these need 'seeding' is that the correct term?? Any advice would be great Thanks!
