Okay so after many fails and not enough time- I have time now and want to re-start my 12 gallon CAD Nano. I don't know what I was doing wrong last time but I need as much help as possible!!!
I had the back of the tank used to house the heater and use as a fuge- it came with bioballs but I never used them and added some LR rubble in the back, purigen, and chemi-pure elite. I tried to keep chaeto back there but it NEVER seems to live for me!!! So should I try this set up again back there- or use the bioballs? I am taking out all of the sand because of how much algae I had and not sure if there was any disease in the tank. I will reuse the LR pieces I have.
So how would you do this set up??? Would you empty out, dump sand, wash out, fill back up, and try again? I really want this to work this time and I am being patient. I know it has to cycle before even thinking about fish. I added picks of the front and side of tank and back fuge area. Thanks in advance!
