Hi

For a GSP tank: Te tank has a good internal filter, however I just remembered I have a spare external filter and all new filter sponges for it. I was thinking as the puffers are messy - I should add the external filter as I have it anyway. Is there any issues to having 2 filters? Is there any issues to putting on a filter with entirely new sponges? I know normally a 'new' filter would mean cycling the tank - but I assume if there is already a filter on and working and the tank is well cyled then this wouldn't be an issue?


Thanks

You can never have too many filters. ;)
