In my 5gal fluval spec I have a very competitive colony of RCS. Especially at chow time! Would adding 5-10 CRS have a shot?
Different topic bonus question
Luckily yesterday I noticed the output flow had stopped on the 5gspec. A debris jam occurred in the tubing which thankfully wasnt stopped up for too long before I cleared it. The tank has been up for 2yrs and I only ring out the compartment sponge in tank water about every month and a half. I also siphon out whatever loose debris and shrimp that are living in there, after I pull out the sponge and media from the filter compartment.
To my question, how often should the piping/tubing/hoses be flushed out to prevent a tank cardiac arrest? Canister filters too?
Thanks!
