Recently I had a tank crash in my 14g biocube, but it's slowly recovering. I'm hoping that in 2-3 weeks, everything will be good to go. By the end of this week, I should have everything I need to set up my solana.
The question is, how can I transfer my stuff over to the solana without having a cycle/ammonia spike? I know that stirring up the old sand bed can cause this. Is there any easy way to transfer without having to cycle a tank for a month?
I was thinking of taking some rubble from my old tank and a cup of live sand to seed the new tank. I will need to buy more sand for the new tank because my 14g doesn't have enough. If I buy sand from a forum members tank, there shouldn't be a cycle, correct?
Has anyone upgraded/transferred before? What did you do? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
