Ok guys and gals!
Got this smokin deal off of Craigslist for a 125 gal tank and stand with 2 canister filters. Cascade 1500 and 1000. Done some research and seen both positive and not so positive information on these canisters. I would like to use them if they are worth it.
I'm needing some advice on these canisters or maybe some different options.
It was an established tank with fancy goldfish, bio sponges and tons of media which I have saved in tank water in the picture below. The main question/concern I have is they stated they had an algae problem over a month ago but was since then "fixed". Should I use all this media/sponges or start from scratch?!? Clean off the media/sponges in tank water and should be fine or kill off the bacteria with tap water, IMO not a good idea but still uncertain with the algae issue.
Excuse the mess I'm in the middle of cleaning all equipment and such!
Any and all advice helps!
