run

When we are designing and constructing our aquariums, I sometimes wonder if we consider if we are building them for "the long run" versus "the short run."In other words, are we creating an aquarium that's designed from the start to be a showpiece, perhaps developed for a competition or temporary...

I am moving from a HOB to a canister, and I currently have both running. I figure it's a good way to populate the canister with nitrating bacteria. But how long should I run both for before removing the old one? I'm trying to prevent a mini-cycle. 30g / 16 fish (Demasoni +1 pleco)
