Bassin Mike Cichla Thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Mike tanks looking great! I’m impressed with you large water changes. Have you ever had a problem with bio after those big water changes? I’ve always done 50% but you have me thinking I could go bigger

Thanks Man. Never had a problem with bio. When i am doing water changes, i leave water inside the sump keeping the bacteria alive and well. I dont vaccum the gravel or nothing. besides water changes i only change out filter socks and filter floss. of course also the seachem seagel only when its time to replace it. believe it or not everythings on point with my big tank.

That’s awesome man.The proof is In the pudding I believe ya. I might have to go bigger next time. After going with the drip I only really do a small gravel vac once a week.

if you do i suggest doing a 60% the first couple times and then progress from there. just in case it does shock your fish or bio and then you can correct it right away.
