I have an established 26 gallon sw reef tank. And would like to start up a 10g tank. Question is... I will probably buy the exact same filter I am using on my established tank, for my new 10g. Can swap my new filter onto my 26g, and put the old filter on the brand new tank (using live sand and rock)... Do skip a cycle all together... Or maybe just have a quick 24 hour fully cycled new tank.
Also, do I run the risk of forcing a partial cycle on my old tank? I have live sand and about 30pounds of lr in there.
Comments, suggestions. It took all the patients in the world for me to wait the three weeks to cycle the first tank, if I can do it quicker this time around, I will.
Thanks!
