:confused:Hi Everyone.
I have bought a second hand tank which was great value and has some serious equipment but it was used as a salt water setup.
I’m in the process of cleaning it as best I can and getting ready to set it all up.
Firstly has anyone got tips of cleaning the equipment used for saltwater or is it likely to cause me trouble when I get around to filling it with discus?
It came with 2 eheim canister filters a 2213 & 2215 Classic.
Also an Aqua Medic Ozone Generator, an Aqua Medic MV Computer and a AM Titan 250 Cooling Unit.
My tank is a 4foot or approx 66Galons
Questions: Do you think I need to use booth Canister filters or should I save one to use for the next tank I get. I am planning on using an internal sponge filter too.
The filters are empty so what would you recommend as the best combination of filter media to use.
I have not used an Ozone generator or a cooler unit before. Does anyone use these or know much about them. Are these suitable or advantageous for use with discus?
How long am I best having the system up and running before putting fish in?
Thanks in advance
