Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I decided to switch my tank from rocks to sand. [Though my husband wasn't pleased at first]
Of course after spending hours on working to get the tank to look perfect and set back up how I wanted it the filter decided to give up on me and stop working
So I had to speed to my lfs to buy a new one. Unfortunately it's the same brand but the filter bags were different so I couldn't use the ones that already had established bacteria.
I'm getting a horrible case of a bacteria bloom, which I hate.
Is there anyway faster way to get it over this stage??
[Oh yeah my husband said "Once again you were right about the fish tank" That's why he leaves it up to me haha]
Thanks for any help I can get in advance.
The pictures below are Before the sand and the 2nd picture is with sand..before the BB outbreak.
I must say I'm overly pleased with the sand and will never go back to gravel
