Hey ahkarboy,
Thanks for your input. Just wondering, did you re-use your current substrate or replaced it entirely? I guess leaving my substrate how it is at the moment would minimise 'damage' and of course, workload as well.
I'm also pretty sure that my current base fert has since probably disintergrated as it has been a year odd since I made any form of re-fertilisation to the base (root monster, etc).
Removing the large driftwoods in my tank will be the challenge for me as all the driftwoods come with various nanas, ferns & moss attached to them.
I agree, if I should remove the substrate, the difficult part is to get the base of the tank try.
I'll take this period to re-plan the structure of the layout as well as to purchase the required item(s) if need be.
It's always a challenge in-general (fertilisation, water flow, CO2 distribution, hardware, etc) when it comes to a bigger tank.
Speaking of hardware, I intend to re-use the external Eheim 1260 universal pump and have that attached to external CO2 reactor. Previously, my setup was the following for my CO2.
Code:
Eheim 1260 powered.
Sponge-filtered Inlet >> CO2 reactor >> Chiller >> Outlet.
Would the below mentioned work better in the distribution of CO2 around the tank? (minus the chiller)
Code:
Eheim 1260 powered.
Sponge-filtered Inlet >> CO2 reactor >> Outlet.
Since there is no filtration at all via the 1260 pump or different levels of the water passing through to anything, would the flow be too strong as there is no way to cut the flow of the water flow rate from the pump.
I am currently using 2 x Eheim Pro II.
