Do I need to cycle this tank

[peathenster]

Hi - getting a 90 tomorrow. It has been running since forever (so to speak), and will be taken down tonight and delivered to me tomorrow morning. Comes with an Emperor 400 (mature).

I'm replacing a 55 with it, which is currently running on an Eheim 2026 and another HOB. The plan is to move the substrates (sand), wood, plants, and the Eheim to the 90, and also keep the Emperor 400.

Sounds like a 100% WC to me....do I still need to cycle it?? Thanks...

No "cycling" is not needed, it is always a good idea to test water params daily after doing a transfer such as this.

Good point. Thanks!
