Hello,
I have a little conundrum that I thought I would ask the experts about. I will be moving home this week, and wanted to get some advice on how to move the tank and also try and kill the Cyanobacteria at the same time. If I advise my plan, perhaps one of you lovely people could tell me how to go about it the right way if mine is all wrong:
1. Empty tank completely, throw away old gravel, clean ornaments etc
2. Fish and filters transported to new apartment (filters will be kept in old tank water, will this increase risk of bringing Cyanobacteria along?)
3. Clean tank and dry (whats the best way to do this?)
4. Transport tank
5. Put in new gravel and plants and add HS Aqua Bactoturbo
6. Put in fish (after acclimatising to new water)
7. ?
8. Profit
The fish (and amphibians) I have are 5 x clown loach, 3 x khuli loach, 10 x neon tetra and 2 x african dwarf clawed frogs.
The Cyanobacteria has been around for a little while, I clean every week but it keeps coming back. I am hesitant to add chemicals to remove as am unsure how this will affect the frogs.
Thanks everyone, I'm still a bit of a noob with all this so your advice is really appreciated!
