Fish Fanatic
Hi all
Tank 38 US galls...... Fluval 305 ext filter
In the very near future i am going to recape/clean my tank its 2 years old now and needs attention. The fish will be moved to a spare tank with a properly seeded internal filter so i have no problem there, my concern is keeping the bacteria in the main tank filter good and alive as the recape/clean may take a day or two. I realise with no amonia source from the fish the bacteria will soon die even tho the filter will be running constantly during the clean, so my first question will adding pure amonia be enough to keep the filter good ...second question HOW MANY DROPS daily do you think would be sufficient for my tank size. This would be my prefered route if possible as its quick and easy or is there any otherway of doing it.
I seem to remember from an earlier thread Homebase Diy sell amonia can anybody confirm this or suggest any other source
