My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Sandbed requires blackout and the CO2 will help Ph bt not dino. You want to collect as many cells as you can hence the peroxide which works as an oxidizerI turned off the skimmer for the first 4 days and ran an air pump into the return to pump O2 in the tank during those days. Basically an O2 scrub during the first 4. Indeed changed out the socks every day but later read that a 200 micron sock won’t pick them out of the water. Which is why I went out and bought a 5 micron sock for the siphon removal. And my Dinos stay off the rocks and glass and stay on the sand bed.
