Another prop tank Question

[Tanked]

I am tying a small 20x16x6 inch feed/prop tank into my display,the question I have is will the tank still cycle? I personally did not think so but since alot of my high end chalices and acans are going in I just wanted to be 100%.So what does everyone think?

It might go through a small cycle , most of the time it does.

It wont do like a biological cycle as long as its tied into an established system, but you do have to expect the algae cycle. I just started 1 up, tied to my 150, and its got diatoms and gunk startin, but a solid cleaning crew has kept it down. Its like 10 days in now

add it to your established system and go! provided you are not significantly increasing bioload right away, of course.

cheers!
