Hi all,
I created my first scape in January. In the last month or so I’ve become a little bored with it, and wished I’d created it differently.
I want to start a new tank - but am unsure how to do this.
i presume the process should be something like;
buy a spare tank - full with water - dechlorinate said water - move filter to new tank and run
Somehow catch all shrimp and fish and plop into new spare tank with filter running - they should be safe / happy in there for a day or two
empty current main tank - give it a really good clean
create new scape - then once filled move filter and fish back to main tank.
is this about right ?
Can I ask - when you guys want a new scape do you ever keep your soil? Or do you need to ditch the current soil and start everything fresh?
I have a bit of BBA which is annoying - have been treating and it’s better but not gone.
I want to avoid my recent BBA issues - and wonder if it’s even possible to get rid of this stuff whilst using The same filter media and moving the fish etc across - it will it still be lurking ?
thank you
