I have a 20 long QT, inside I have a large submersible filter. There is a medium sized tank in this tank. I installed an Aqua Clear HOB 29 days ago. So do think it's safe to remove the big submersible filter? Thanks !
Do You think an HOB filter is cycled after 29 days?

Gotta give myself a bump here. I know posts move "quick" on a Friday eve. I have an Am badge & water to swap out and all but would rather not go thru the hassle. I really need the tank Qt this week end . Thanks

Well I'd say you are good to go then if you're concerned you could always leave the sponge from the submersible in the QT to keep your bacteria population up until you're more comfortable. After adding your new fish to the QT just keep an eye on the badge and test for the first few days to make sure your bacteria can handle the bioload you've added. WC as needed and you're set
Edit just realized you have a fish already in there, I'd say you're still good to go either way.

That's what I figured , This big submersible is taking too much space. I'll keep the sponges & add a couple to the new filter.

Today I pulled the submersible& put a couple of the pads from it in the AquaClear. That will help seed it further. This box I removed worked reallly well. I'll be storing it for later use. So now the Q/T is complete lots of room & Tang Boy has a couple of pvc tubes to hide in. Merry Christmas Everybody !
