Yup just like you would clean your filter pads in old tank water, just do it in the 100g tank. That will quick cycle it by adding bacteria. Just keep a good eye on your levels and test the water often, if you see ammonia then you stop adding fish till it goes away but keep adding your bacteria.
Don't clean the filter pads so good that you cause a mini cycle in your 55g, just do it like you normally would. You will get some nasty dust and such on the sand but that's OK its mostly bacteria.

lol that reminds me to bug my bf some more to get my sand ugh, i got some wood it doesnt look rotten but its old, will that work somehow i hav to put it in the pot i hav lol this will be interesting, oh ther were some ants in it, is that okay

knock the ants out if you can. Yes old sun bleached wood is best. If only 1/2 will fit in the pot just boil, flip, boil, flip, boil....... Once its waterlogged or mostly waterlogged you can stop, most of your fish will appreciate some tannins so you don't have to boil the dickens out of it

lol wat if it wont fit half and half lmao its big and long and i got a pos of a pot to use

Hmmmm will it fit in your oven? if so take it to 100*F for 15-20 minutes, that should sterilize it then just toss it in the tank, it will sink eventually. You will get more tannins but like I said I believe most of your fish will enjoy the tannins. You will prolly want to toss a few shells in there to help buffer your PH though.

shells like sea shells? where do i put that at, couldnt i just toss it in the 100 with no fish and wait for a week or 2? i dont know where i would get seashells in denton. lmao were landloacked lmao

or a bit of old coral

okay another question is where do i get bit of old coral lol i luv where i live we hav nothin in my little old town. ill just throw it in my 100 gallon so it has it to seep thru and change the water twice a week.

I'll toss some shells in your box

thanks cjun and thanks fern, sorry but its kind of funny wen either one of ya guys tell me to get this and im lik huh ya im limited of fish store lol and any other things, with shells could i get them at a craft store bc thats the only place i can actually finsd any

I've got a box of random beach shells that I collected as a kid so I have plenty to spare, most aren't very pretty but they will do the job.

lol pretty doesnt matter unless it fish !!!! but ya ill decorate it really pretty with them and then my dojo will destroy until he liks it hahaha. i dont mind pretty or not im happy i can do this hobby with some sucess!!!
