    Hi guys and gals

    Just want to find out how long it would take for a sponge filter to seed if put into a well established tank.
    Surely it would be less then a week because the bacteria is floating in the water column. Want to set up a propagation tank for plants (hehe).

    Thanks

    Are you putting any fish in with your plant propagation set up?

    Just some white clouds, nothing overkill though. This is also just a general question.
