Those who may remember my stories know the aggravation my reef tank was causing me. between bouts of ich that I got from somewhere to this insane mutant algae that literally took 5 week in a dark bucket to start dying off my rocks. Well yesterday my heater in the tank crashed and I didnt notice. Everything died. Im sad for the fish and my neat serpant star and urchin but in the end the tank was being re set up in a 20 gallon long anyway and losing its spot back to a freshwater planted.
My only decision is whether I want to even start another one up. I would like to give it one more go, I have the equipment, but just to set it all up and then see that algae start growing again if it wasnt 1000000000000% killed off would just wreck me.
I planned this time on doing a sump and only keeping a couple unstacked rock in the DT so they could easily be removed and cleaned when/if needed.
What would you guys do?
