Amanda

Yes, that would be an instant cycle.

0ppm ammonia 0ppm nitrite 5-20ppm nitrate

that's my question alex .... would nitrAtes show up in my tank ..... used a filter from cycled tank .... i'm pretty sure no amm or nI

agabr123

yep, i'd give it 24-48 hours after adding your fish (add about 1 hour after adding the new filter/media) and then test for everything, that should give enough time for the bacteria to process everything into nitrAtes if you are, in fact, cycled
