This evening i stripped the tank down and cleaned each individual part to get rid of all of the old gunk from the previous inhabitants. Tested all the equipment including the power head for the filter, the heater and the lights or though i will change the lights at some point as they are white and red and i want sunlight and marine blue. I’ve scrubbed the inside of the tank with just water and tissue. I didn’t use any cleaning products inside the tank because the chemical residue will harm or kill live stock.
Unfortunately the floors in my house are uneven in places so I’ve had to add pieces of carpet under the cabinet to level things out. Not ideal i know but it will do!
