Aquarium Advice Regular
hey guys/ladies, name is von. from the bay area ca. new to this forum and is currently looking for advice.
i came up on a pretty decent aquarium over the past weekend. 180 gallon tank which i believe is acrylic. it is saltwater right now and im planning on converting it to a freshwater cichlid infested tank. im planning on getting rid of everything in the tank and start "fresh" lol. still got a bunch of rocks and 3 fishes left. already given the corals away.
and for the advice. the tank right now has a filter system that is running (there are live fishes in the tank as i type) and my question is, would i be able to run the tank way it is? of course change the filters and everything inside (rocks, fishes).
just to help you guys out some, i will take some pics tomorrow of what it looks like, overhead and under so you guys could see the setup. i have no idea what everything is. i use to have an 80 gallon cichlid tank and i just used the filters that you hang on the top. the one in the tank im getting is all plumbed underneath the tank. maybe you guys could lead me to the right path and tell me what stuff is, what i gotta do to make it work with fresh, etc etc..
anybody else from the bay area?
