So the ten gallon did not work in the kitchen, it's almost touching the cabinet so I switched tanks with my mother in law, who had a five gallon.
I had to clean it pretty aggressively with a bleach waters solution, she once had a pond snail infestation and just the thought of them freaks me out!
Needless to say I saved my ten gallon gravel and filter pad which was a cycled tank. All of my readings this morning say 0 for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. A betta is in the tank along with a nerite snail. I'm prepared to do water changes everyday if I have to in order to keep them healthy. But my 29 gallon is cycled. Can I put a new small pad in that tank and get the bacteria that way? If I do that how long should j keep it in the cycled tank to get it right?
