how should i clean my tank of death, really really well
Dude is this your first tank? A tank that small is hard to upkeep and stock. Try a bigger tank. Like a 20 gallon.well they are small tanks, one is 1.5 one is 1. and i know i probably should throw them away but i really want to fix them up. both had small filters, one i had for 4-5 years one for 6 months. in one was fry in the other was a few small shrimp. i came home one day and almost all my fry had died and it now keeps killing fish. in the other one i noticed it just kept killing fish
Well minisump isnt a technical word I just made it up. I just meant make one of the tanks into a small sump for the other. Sorry lol You could probably have quite a few more shrimp and some snails though.yeah that is what i wanted to do but whats a minisump?
for one i wanted to heavily plant and put 1-2 small shrimp
I would recommend a good rinsing and scrubbing with a plain soft sponge or cloth. If you are really worried about it though you can use a bleach solution and dry it overnight. I have never been comfortable with this but people do it so it is prolly ok...ok first i have to figure out how to clean it though.
Sweet! What did you decide about the other?i cleaned one out and started to plant it. ill post a picture after i finish planting it!
