System Check-up and Clean

  • Removed, rinsed, flushed and cleaned risers in Tanks 3-5. Significant debris, mould etc.
  • Syphoned debris from base of Tanks 1-5. Left over food, dead fish and mould.
  • Replaced 50% of water in Silver Perch aquarium (Aquarium 3). Dead fish- indicating a problem with water?
  • Filled Aquarium 4-5. Ready for future use?
  • Joined Tank 3 to recirculation system (Bi-carb Soda). Have been slowly mixing water with tanks for 1 week.
  • Replaced air stone in Aquarium 3. Air stone discoloured, maybe adding unwanted chemicals?
  • Cleaned filter in Aquarium 3. Old and discoloured. Need to purchase activated charcoal.
