Hey everyone! I finally got my tank into my house!
I sure am glad I have been weight lifting for 2 years because 2 manning this down the hallway is not easy!
It is Oceanic brand.
My dad kept African Cichlids in this 8 years or so ago.
I did not know it before, but my dad also had an extra refugeum for me
I plan to use it later on to add a deep sand bed / copepod sanctuary.
I have started working on my algae scrubber. I also could not help but getting a Blue Tang and Octopus before I even had water in the tank!
Here you can see the insertion slot for one of the two plastic grids for the algae to grow on:
I have ordered a 800 GPH hang on back overflow box and a 1262 model Eheim pump to get the water back in the tank. I am going to use some kind of large rubber made type tub for the sump to contain the algae scrubber. It will also house the heater.
I am working on properly roughing up the grid to better allow the algae to adhere.
I currently need advice on how to best clean this tank that has been in storage for almost 8 years!
I am thinking I will use my shop vac to try and get the gravel and dirt out and then maybe vinegar/water and a sponge to try and clean the glass? Do you guys have any advice on how to clean this?
