I need to start a new tank, by that i mean split up my current setup.
right now i have an ac30 with a sponge in the bottom and the rest full of ceramic, full full. basically i want the cycle to go as fast as possible, since im almost positive my shellies spawned.
1) would a ac mini be ok in a 20 long with just shellies? right now the ac30 is a little strong for them, doesnt seem unbearable, but still strong.
2) would moving half the sand help with the cycle? or should i save the effort
3) is vasiline safe to use on my pump impeller? my ac impeller makes a bit of noise intermittently. its no the lid, its off. i took it apart and put it back togther about 10 times the other night and this is the only thing i didnt try.
4) with the buffer mix in the library can i just mix up a huge batch of it and store it or should i mix it out every time?
5) i have 2 bn plecos, m and f, i wanna split them up between the tanks, do they leave fry alone?
6) is it ok to have the tank near the floor? the only place i have room is below my current one, it would be 6-8in of the floor.
thats all for now
