Hello,
I'm new here. This is my first post. I hope to learn a lot here.
I have an Eclipse 12 gallon (I think) tank. I set it all up a few years ago, but my fish kept dying of pinecone disease, and Petsmart said my water sample was perfect, so I have no idea why they kept dying. I initially replaced each fish as it died, but eventually I just gave up when the last one died.
The tank has been empty for about a year and half. I just cleaned it out and would like to start over. What about my old bio wheel? I've read you aren't ever supposed to replace them, but what about if it's been dry for so long?
The other reason I think I should replace it is because all my fish died and I don't know why. I feel like a fresh start with all new filters might be best.
What do you think?
Thanks.
