Quickest way to cycle new tank?

Mad1 · March 2nd, 2008

HI everyone,

I posted something similar in the Freshwater Beginners to cover all angles! I have heard before that you can cycle a new tank by cutting a small peice of filter pad out of an existing filter in a fully cycled tank and placing it in the new filter in the uncycled tank. Is this right? If so how long do I need to leave it till the fish can go in etc

thanks in advance!

Just put it in and wait a few days to be sure then add fish.
