| Was a mixed trop softwater set up. Unfortunately had to be fully stripped down (early Dec 2011). Ongoing infection in stock following mass round worm infection from original cardinals (despite QT). Immune to all treatments Tank sat empty at present. |
| Quarantine/Emergency Tanks - 64 & 84 litres - Really Useful Storage Boxes |
|---|
| From Staples. The only boxes that FK has found that are fish safe plastic. Used for water changes too! Sat dry when not required. Use a 100w heater and an old fluval 2 casing I keep spare just in case. I just pinch some media from the 180 litre when needed. |
