Hey all, I've got a bit of a pickle on my hands and I'm not sure how to proceed forward.
I am in the middle of getting ready for a move and will be moving to a smaller place that has no real room for my 20 gal. I've given all the fish away to friends but am facing some trouble trying to figure out how to break the tank down.
I have eco-complete as the substrate but I am not sure how to drain the tank without sucking away the substrate itself. Should I bother keeping it? is there a better way to filter it out (old roots and I have MTS in the tank)?
I've broken down several smaller tanks but those were never planted and had the standard small plastic pebbles. Any insight into how you deal with the lighter and grainer substrates would be appreciated.
Thanks.
