Looks cycled to me.Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5.0 ppm (This reading has remained been stable like this for the past couple of days. Does this means that the tank is already cycled?)
Possible to cycle new tank with the help of existing tank?

Thanks, everyone.
Out of curiosity (not sure if this is a stupid question), but is tank size a factor in cycling time? i.e. A smaller tank will take a shorter time to cycle, and vice versa? Common sense, Maths, and the laws of Physics tell me that is likely the case, but I'm not very sure.
