I have a tank I am about to empty that I want to keep cycled to put some super red fry in. I will probably want to keep it cycled for about 4 weeks. As it's bare bottom and easy to clean up rather than feed with ammonia daily I was just going to dump a load of poo in there from another tank and leave it.

Can I just leave it like that for a month or do I need to keep adding fresh poo? I would have though just the one lot woul keep it going but would welcome any advice.

Just add the water from a live tank every time you do a W/C
Do a W/C on the empty tank every one or two week's
