Hey all,
So yesterday I was able to grab a WB 20 with AI Prime for 175$. thought it was a good deal, just needed some elbow grease to deep clean. Tank was empty when i bought it but the back sections were covered in vermitted snails. so with some bleach water and tooth brush i got everything off. It came with a 2 chamber media chamber for first bay that looked the same but its all cleaned now.
I am making a build thread as i want some advice. I have one WB20 already, it was bought as a new set up from LFS so I am running what it came with filtration wise besides converting to floss instead of sock.
- Floss
- Sponge
- Carbon
- WB Bio Balls
With the new tank i just picked up I want to transfer my smaller 10G tank with Tidal 35 into the WB20. The 10G is fairly new only running for about 2-3 months and only has 2 smaller clowns in it. The WB20 will go where the 10G is now so I can not let the 10G run while I cycle the 20G.
So I wanted to get some advice before I go through with the swap. My plan was to take everything out of 10g and place in buckets, take the sand out which has only been in tank for 1.5 months as the tank started bare bottom and use that as well as half a new bag of fiji pink in the 20g when it is moved into place. I would then fill the tank with all of the water from the 10g and all the rock.
For filtration I will run floss in the media basket with carbon under it. in the middle chamber I will add ceramic rings and add all the bio media from the tidal 35 that was running in the 10g tank. to be safe I will add a bottle of turbo start as well.
If anyone has some suggestions that would be helpful!
Thanks!
