I’m considering purchasing some fish via a sale and hold them in a QT tank while my new DT gets up and running. My current tank is a 22 gallon that has a bag of MarinePure media gems and 25-30 pounds of live rock that’s been in there since November. I got the 22 gallon used so the bacteria is well established. I’m considering taking half the bag (45 grams) of marine pure and moving that to a QT tank. I have more media blocks on order that I’ll add back to the 22 gallon. Should I be concerned about removing that bacteria from the tank.
Also, how long does it take for bacteria to culture on to the new media? I couldn’t find an answer to that here.
