Indoor "pond"

more water, fewer fish, faster cycling. especially if you use polyester batting or
gravel (in a gravity filter). ponds dont actually "cycle" unless somebody dumps a
LOT of fish into them. I always keep a sharp eye on any new pond (and even my pond
in spring) just to make sure. inside light is essential maybe for algae growth which
contributes to controlling wastes. also, heat is very important to getting the good
biobugs established. at least 72-75oF or so. INgrid

Has anyone got experience cycling a 'tank' that size though? Not the
80'ish, but the 1300'ish tank. Should it cycle through at the same rate, if
I've got sufficient filter media, and flow rate?
