Quick cycling question

johnny313 · 11/26/2009, 12:23 PM

I had a 65g with about 10-15 gallons of water in the sump... I upgraded to a 90G with about 20-25 gallons in the sump
would there be a possibility that the tank might cycle by adding an extra 45 gallons???

the 60 was a BB tank with almost 50 or 60 pounds of LR and i only used about 30 pounds of LR in the 90

You might experience a very slight cycle, but absolutely nothing to worry about. It will just be like doing a big water change.

Good luck
