Hi!
Can somebody help give me their experience and suggest the best way to go about breaking up an existing set up and creating a new aquascape.
Away from inspiration, what are the practicalities of doing this? Has it ever been covered in PKF? It should be, if it hasn't already......!
- I have about 40 small fish (mostly Tetras, a few Corys, Ottos and shrimps). Should I buy a cheap 2nd hand tank and transfer water and fish and some of my plants and wood into this for a day or so? Will they be alright with a heater an no filter for 24-48 hours? Or longer?
- I am thinking taking a wkd should do it. Get prepared and planned in advance and spend 1st day breaking down tank - catching fish, taking out substrate and cleaning the tank thoroughtly and then 2nd day to create new aquascape with pre-bought plants and new substrate.
- Are there any other alternatives other than buying a cheap 2nd hand tank? I have limited space in living area, unless I steal another room....(!)
what else do I need to consider? Had anyone got a step by step guide to doing this? PKF.....?
Many thanks in advance
Paul
