MY NEIBOR SAW MY TANK AND DECIDED TO BUILD A BIGGER ONE.
HE USED 2 BIG FLUVALS,HEATER,9 V UV, AND BERLIN CLASSIC HANG ON. IN HIS FLUVALS HE USED BIO BALLS IN ONE AND MEDIA IN THE OTHER.
HE IS TOO BUSY TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MARGINAL SYSTEM- HE MUST OF WENT THRU 15 NICE FISH- JUST TO KILL THEM SLOWLY- I HAVE SAVED A FEW AND PUT THEM IN MY QUARANTINE TANK WERE THEY ARE FINE.
MY ADVICE TO HIM WAS THIS- CLEAN OUT COMPLETELY.
ADD 5" OF LIVE SAND AND 100 LBS OF LIVE ROCK
LET CYCLE AND ADD SLOWLY FISH OR INVERTS. GET RID OF FLUVALS AND USE A BIG WET DRY REFUGIUM WITH BIO BALLS AND PRE FILTERS
ANY OTHER IDEAS ON LOW MAINT. SYSTEMS WOULD BE APPRICIATED
