Fishless Cycling

Question.

If you are fishless cycling a tank, is it a good idea to
gravel vac the "in-use" tank and move the "shite :)" to the
cycling tank - will this help to cycle?

I don't know about the gravel vaccing part of the process,
but when I established new tanks I used some gravel & filter
material & plants from an established tank and the new tanks
cycled quickly. Using stuff from an established tank
definitely speeds up the process.
