I was just thinking.... when a tank is in a mini cycle, can you correct it - at least help correct it with filter media from another cycled healthy tank?

Sure, if you add more bacteria it'll help bring down the ammonia. Do a good water change with prime first.

Good morning Beth. The more beneficial bacteria in your tank and filter the better off the fish will be. This includes surface areas in the tank as well.
