How to instant cycle

[Punjabiking1500]

Hello guys hope u doin well
I wanted to know that is there something like instant cycle if yes how to do it I really need something like it.
Anything that reduces the cycling time will also help
I have an already established oscar tank with lists of filter media

An instant cycle is to move all of the established filters from a cycled tank into a brand new tank. You can use 100% new water in the new tank.

Using substrate or some cycled media from another tank possibly speeds up the cycled process for the new tank. It's not an instant cycle since you are possibly moving only part of a bacteria colony to support an unknown quantity of ammonia/nitrite produced.

Will waiting for a week do the job?

Not necessarily. You have to feed the bacteria ammonia, and you have to use a liquid test kit to verify that the tank is cycled. It could take as long as a month if you're unlucky and there is barely any bacteria in the media/substrate. The bacteria does not grow evenly across all media and surfaces of the tank so it's hit and miss how long it takes to achieve a full cycle with media/substrate from another tank.
