So I just upgraded my tank(50gallon to a 125gallon), due to the amount of cleanin an time it took to water test it plus work and such, i had my 50gallon empty for 3days before i was able to setup the new tank.
I kept all filter media and decorations and plants in the tank water from the 50gallon until they went into the new tank. I bought a new filter but put some of the old media in the new filter plus a sponge filter that was in the 50.
It has been setup for about 3days now and I havent changed any water or anything and these are my test results:
Ammonia- 0.25ppm
Nitrite- 0ppm
Nitrate- 10ppm
So to me it looks like I may of saved some of my cycle? What do you guys think? I just dont want to wait another 8weeks to cycle a tank. Lol ive done it enough times!
And ps: there are 5 adults in the tank
