Hello all!
So this is my second salt tank 1st I have a fluval 13.5 evo that has been running for 14 months. With the 13.5 I have had what I assume lots of you have dealt with ie. GHA, Cyno, water parameter swings, algae issues, bad lighting... while I was planning my building up of the 13.5 i found a fluval 32.5 for sale on FB marketplace (I have shopped tanks for 6 months daily on multiple selling pages). It was a lady that was selling her ex husbands tank because she didn’t want it and was moving. She said the tank had been running for a year and seemed stable just that it was dirty and wasn’t sure if everything was alive. She was asking $150 for it and all the contents. I agreed sight unseen. These are the pictures I got after I asked.
I ran to the store bought some storage totes and charged up a battery pack(ambient was 33F) to run one power head and heater. Made a successful transfer to my home (1hr drive) Here is a video after set up at home.(12/11/20)
I have lots of plans and will add pictures and info as I go.
Hints and tips are very welcomed!
