oh ok cool...so my 46g filter has two spongess...could i just take one out for a few days and put it in the 95 g tank or would i have to put it in one of hte 95g filters (diff kind)...i got a baby jag for like 3 bucks...would he be a good fish to test and get bacteria in the water

yeah just put the sponge in your filter on your 90 and leave it there so your water has to be processed by the bacteria before going back in the tank... and sure i guess the jag would work but be careful you could have an ammonia spike if not setup well enough..
