Cycling How Long Should Cycling Take If I've Used Things From A Previously Established Tank?

How long should cycling take if I've used things from a previously established tank? - cycling

We have our new 3-Bike "tank (200L, 52 gallons) for a week. We have to do with the predetermined filter tank and ornaments. I would say that 20% of the water tank is old. Since the filter has already levels of bacteria on the inside, how long do you think cycling is to take? "I wanted to wait about 3 weeks, and I'm not sure ...
Thank you to everyone who helps: D

Once you've created a filter placed in the work of a reservoir, they would have some work cycle in the tank at a time.

The best way is to get some fish there with him. If you leave the filter is not a source of ammonia, which in fact the entire cycle.

If you are a tank pre-filter for his bike for certain fish stocks and secure from day one. Just add build steps to the full amount into the circulation of the tank.

I agree with the previous person, but you have to do is take up a portion of the gravel in the reservoir benificail news, because bacteria growing in the filter and gravel in order to accelerate further, after I had heard that this process is about 1 -2 days would last, but I Geuss gallon or 55 shall have more time for the cycle, either because no traces of ammonia in the tank, I suggest you take a fish for a few hours and once afetar food was exhausted, the see good results.

I recently bought a brand new 60 gallons and everything I do .. Water heaters, filters, etc. .. I have all the plants in the gravel and decor of my cycles, and 30 gallons in it .. I also have the filter in my 30 gallons in this ... Everyone told me it would take several days for the cycle ... In but now goes in 2 weeks and still no bike for my fish to a fair settlement difficult to check the levels of nitrates and maintain when it happens, I'm also a big difference to 50% water,
