Default Bio-filter startup time?

actually, there isnt many biobugs in the water, but clean the aquarium walls with the
filter material and you will pick up colonies. best is using a piece of well cycled
filter material. Ingrid

Moving the water will help, but even better would be to squeeze out all

Now I am getting more of an idea...fill a 5 gallon bucket full of filter
media, and pump the aquarium water thru it. Hmmm....
