Quoting IAreef: "... it is an old
FW tank make sure there isn't any
copper residue left over from meds etc that may have been used in the tank."
Thanks for the tip regarding
copper based treatments. If I can how would I test for
copper and/or remove it from the tank?
Quoting Skurvey Dog: "Be sure to check the tank's seals real well and fill the tank up with water and let it sit for a few hours to make sure that it doesn't have any leaks. Sometimes moving around older tanks will cause seal failure."
I have tested the tank for leaks without any problems.
Quoting IAreef: "Also for myself I would skip the carbon/sponge filter (These may cause
nitrate problems down the road) and look into getting as much
LR as you can in your
sump."
I agree that using
LR instead of the sponge is a better idea. I wonder if the plastic screen can bear the weight of the
LR?
Thank you all for the welcome to the site and forums!!!
