Upgrading to a 55 gallon

Hey everyone just upgraded to a 55 gallon tank, with coralife compact florescents, very excited. I have 55lbs of sand at about 17lbs of live rock. Any tips on cycling faster, I did a water change on my 29 that has been up four about five months and place the ten gallons I took out of it into the 55. Any other ideas to help me cycle faster would be appreciated.

 

it seems your doing everything correctly, I never tried it, but you can buy certain additives that add the bacteria to your tank. These products mention that that aid in the cycling time. You could try something like that.

 

Hey chalmies, The cycling process shouldnt be rushed and it can last up to 12 weeks. This hobby demands patience, impatience equals failure or problems in the very near future. Please go through this site, as it will educate you and help you to save many lives and save you money.

I think that you should try not to rush the cycle , this will help you in the future to maintain a great tank

 

don't rush, but if you insist, get come cycle liquid or bio-zyme, nite out.
but it is best to wait, I did

 

No insisting plz, let mother nature take its course. Luna
