I always use feeders to cycle my tanks.. What type of bacteria are you using? Tetra has a safe start that is the old bio spirilina formula, not sure if thats the right spelling. That stuff is supposed to be the best on the market but it doesn't really completely work, possibly speeds up your cycle. You should throw some of your filter media in your current setup for a week and then just transfer that to your new tanks sump. I'd say that is the best way of going about it if you want to boost up the process. Or you can just finish doing it the natural way.

i am using Microbe Lift i like the product have you tried it? i also put some tank water from the 180 with the P's Poo..The only reason i did not use any media from this tank is i run canisters on the 180 and did not want to disturb them ...

Disturb them....? You clean your canister filters dont you? I had to clean my fx5 weekly. SO you should be able to use some canister media from the 180 to help seed the 675. Get some new media for the canister and change some out...not all just a little :)

Just the filter mat i never take the bio out...I take that back about a year ago i went a little nuts cleaning the canisters and sent the 180 into a cycle so i try and disturb as little as possable i have fish that will go directly in the 180 when i transfer the big boys ...
