Posting all the way from Manila, Philippines.
Washing all that gravel is tiring.
Fish "room" I guess.
Started filling it up.
My 7 year old son's idea to separate the white and black, pretty neat I idea I thought, so I adopted it.
This is an Intex 10' Metal Frame pool, I've added a couple of layers of tarp and another Intex liner. So, around 1,100 gallons. The final yellow tarp is a pretty thick tarp that the shop they assured me would be good for years.
Questions:
1. I currently have 2 100G fully stocked tanks, is it a good idea for me to dump the water change from those tanks into this one? I'm just thinking at least there's some BB in the water instead of from the tap? If I were to transfer a lot of the filter media from the old 2 100G to this one, will it still take me around a month to cycle properly?
2. Is the fishless cycle faster than the fish cycle? Impatient fellow here..
3. For mech/bio filtration, am thinking of getting 2 Rio 20HF pumps and will DIY a filtration system using plastic crates like this:
maybe 4-5 stacks on these crates will do. Will use some pot scrubbers, straws, scour pads, mosquito nets among other things...
Any comments, inputs and other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
