Broken Penguin 350

Well after deciding to go ahead to use it as is, I get an email today from aquariumguys.com saying that Fed Ex is coming TODAY to get the broken one and that a new one was sent today. That's all good, but I was right in the middle of my cycle! Nitrites were building up.... hope my cycle doesn't have to start all over again, and I wish I would have had more than a couple hours warning that Fed Ex was coming. Oh well... I didn't have to pay any extra shipping.

stick the media in the new filter.. keep it in the tank till the other one shows up.
 
go swap it at petsmart or petco
 
I only sent it back because they said a new one was shipped today... anyways, its a 55 gallon and I also had a penguin 200 running in it while it was cycling (I'm currently resealing the tank for that filter). I just threw a few bacteria loaded filiter cartridges in it.
