Woooo Hooo. Got Some Mature Filter Media

[scotslasszoe]

Well have just a hour ago put in 2 mature sponges into my fish in cycle tank, from a neighbour. checked his water first all all readings perfect

Should this help the fish in cycle tank a lot or should i expect to still do 3 water changes everday?

Thanks

Id imagine it'd help but still be strict with testing good luck!

Mature media, excellent

just what the Doc ordered..essentially as long as the bacteria on the media is equal to or more than whats created by the fish, your tank is cycled. If its less you still may see a small spike, which will need monitored.
