I have a 5g tank with a small filter that has been running for about 3 weeks. Can I use this to seed my 33g QT tank along with some live rock and start QT immediately or do I need use a shrimp and let it cycle? Will be running the tank 24/7 with an aquaclear HOB filter with carbon removed.

Have read sticky on the top of this page "Guide to setup a Quarantine Tank (QT)"?

i would say you're good to go, but with caution since the biofilter is only 3 weeks old, it might not be as stable as you'd like

cool...i read the sticky but still wasn't sure if such a small filter would provide enough bacteria plus water is new and is not coming from DT tank.
