What is the best way to season a second sponge filter?
I have a 15 gallon shrimp only tank and I wanted to add a second sponge filter. I have read to just leave the new sponge filter in the tank for a month without running it or putting it in unseasoned but just turn on the air pump. Any suggestions on which way is right?
Put it in and turn it on. The bacteria won't grow without a flow of food and oxygenated water. A colony will start faster in an established tank but it will still need to be running about three weeks to get a usable colony going.
