Seeding gives the new aquarium a jump start on the cycling process. @bigcorydora49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricksonAquatics Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Basically it’s throwing a sponge filter or piece of sponge (or any other filtration media) into your established tank to grow beneficial bacteria. That way when you’re ready to start cycling your new tank, you can throw the established media into the tank.

Your dwarf lily looks really nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
