Will this work? Cycling question.?

Set up the new tank and filter & heater, let it run for 24 hours for the water to settle and the temp to stabilise.

Then move in the fish and swap part of the filter media at the same time. Thay way you keep the fish, and the cycle bacteria together. You may get some sort of mini-cycle while things balance out again. But as you are using pre-cycled media then you have some cycle in the new tank instantly. Just keep an eye on the water quality for the first week or 2.

that will not cause a cycle to appear i have done what your talking about lots of times you will put the smaller tank in a mini cycle.it will cut cycle time down a lot also do a water change on the 55 and put the water in the 20 that will also help some to. after your transfer media test your water for ammo nitrite and nitrate when every thing stops spiking and settles down then use drip acculimiation for your fish that will work the best. i use those green scratch pads from the dollar store that has no soap in them put them in my filter and leave them there so when i need to jump another tank i will not lose bio load from the filter it came out of . and another thing you can do run your 20 gal filter on your 55 gal at the same time swap media in the both like you said

I use to pop stackers after they nonetheless made them with ephedrine. I use to take at any place from three to five an afternoon. I used to be 18 on the time. I did this for approximately a 12 months. I ultimately give up taking the crap, now not considering it did whatever to me, however i used to be uninterested in it. After i give up taking it, i received a few weight. I used to be an overly energetic man or woman anyhow even though. It took my frame a whilst to regulate. If you would not have the time to dedicate to recreation like loopy whilst you plan on now not taking the ones anymore, then the risk of you getting fats could be very possible. Taking them for the leisure of your existence is not an overly well inspiration. They have an overly terrible have an impact on at the human center. They would now not rationale a center assault in a tender really healthful man or woman. But that does not imply that the chemical does not keep gift within the human frame years later in which it results you in a while down the street. I am now not definite why you could wish to take them within the first situation. If it's for vigor then i could endorse a descent night time's sleep and a pot of espresso rather. If it's to drop extra pounds i could endorse a healthful nutrition that does not contain utilizing chemical substances as a crutch... and a well exersice routiene. The key to wasting weight IS NOT taking a majority of these tablets the media is attempting to shove down our throats. The key to wasting weight comes from self controll. I do desire that to your possess well being and protection sake and the toughness of your existence you do not hold taking that crap. Good success.
