Dirty stuff that settles down in a filter. Loads of live bacteria...

Take some of your old filter wool and stuff it into the new filter. Or you could simply pour a small ammount of mulm into the new tank.

You COULD buy rotting plants and fish shit if you want. But it'd be more economical to just get some from anyone with an established tank

But hey, I'm broke, feel free to buy mine

The bacteria you're talking about is not mulm. It lives IN the mulm.

Hope that helped.
