After 6 years plus and total neglect over the last 2 at least.
I have decided to clean up and redo my tank instead of getting rid of it.
Who knows how long the powerheads alone have been dead.
Most of the BTA have been removed along with rock from the display.
There is so much detritus build up in sand I not sure it can ever be cleaned or removed.
I have pulled out 40 gallons already. Although better not there yet. This is going to take some time.
Don't want to do to big water change at once. Hoping with another 20 I be good.
But I still like the look of a shallow sand bed. And since I plan on a much more open rock work.
It will hopefully be better.
