2 1/2 months ago on May 18 my sump overflowed and flooded my floor causing substantial damage to all my hardwood so we had to get the entire upstairs floor replaced, sucked. Since then my fish have been living in a cooler with some media, an air pump, and a 80 gallon an hour Powerhead.
Well floors are back in and my aquarium is now up and running again. I have made a few changes, painted it blue and I've done drift wood instead of rocks. Driftwood floats so I have it stainless steel wrapped to some fairly large rocks to hold it down until it gets nice and soggy and water logged.
I am doing daily water changes of about 75% so that I can get rid of all the cloudiness. I find it funny that even though the sand was in there before it's still super cloudy now. Used all the media from before. Kept my sump running with a few fish and all the media left over not in the cooler so hoping I do not get a big cycle. I do expect a mini cycle.
