I am wanting to keep my q-tank filter ready to cycle a tank quickly. My 55 gallon (still waiting on it to finish cycling) has an Aqua-tech 30/60 filter on it. Will there be any harm if I just slip the biofiber & filter packs to the 10 gallon tank down in the empty area of the 30/60 filter that keeps running? I'm assuming that empty area is there for some reason & want to make sure I won't affect the tank in any negative way by doing that.
The other option I would have would be to set up the entire 5/15 filter on the 55 gallon as a second filter unit and switch it over to the q-tank should it become necessary. This would, of course, give that tank some extra filtration too.
I invite your critiques of both options as well as further ideas to help that tank be ready for a quick cycle when needed for a hospital (or fry...)
