instead of draining the tank 8 times can you use a hose and spray it in the yard? i have a 100 gallon aquarium and it takes foreever to drain.

Looks great and being a model railroader i am very familiar with the styrofoam sheets...I want to be sure I am clear on a couple things. The ph drops stop after the initial 8 or so drain and fills right? The concrete colorings-You are positive they are fish safe?
ornumdivad
ornumdivad - 16 years ago
doesnt the concrete continue to leech stuff into the water raising the ph? that might be ok for cichlids but what about fish that like a low ph? have you ever sealed them with something like yacht varnish to stop this happening?
