Hi All,
So, I'm bored cause I have no job and no money, thank you global recession!
I decided I would post some pics of my 32g.
I bought this tank some years ago and never really got it up and running. I cycled it twice over the last few years but never had fish in it. It was just sitting in the living room wasting away. I thought about selling it, but decided to give it another go. As you can see in this pic it was in a pretty bad way. The gravel in to bottom still held, dirt, smelly and stagnant water. The tank contained a smaller fish tank, a box of fishing tackel, a sock, fake plants and all the leeds for the filter ect. All were coverd in a coat of dust and grime.
I took out the old gravel and washed it in the bath. Getting the water out of the bottom of the filter was tough. I tried to use the syphon but it did not work right, and let me tell you a mouthful of 12month old water is not good! In the end I got most of it with a dry j-cloth.
I next had to clean the glass which was flithy!
After
I re-added the now clean gravel and set about washing the impeller and heater.
They were cover in grime. I got about 90% of it off.
Other then that it was just really dusting. Lots of dusting!
